Default College Kids: When do you play the most poker online?

Just a thought...

For any College poker players: Do you play more poker Online during the summer when you're off, or
once you go away to
college/away from home and might not have anything to do/are bored?

Also,
for you skilled winning players, do you observe lots of your fishy and/or drunk/stoner and/or stupid college classmates
playing online during the school year?

I have some observations myself, but want to hear some feedback first.

College Students typically have a lot of free time on their hands, and many have
lots of money to gamble (or at least gamble with the money their parents gave them to
buy their textbooks with!).

I would also like to make the statement that college students are typically smarter than the general population, and probably play slightly better poker than their non-college student
counterparts...
(i.e., a smart winning player who is a college student is probably a
better poker player than a typical smart winning player who didn't go to college or
is removed from the whole "Higher Learning" process, OR
a drunk/stoner
college student losing player is probably a better poker player than
a drunk/stoner losing player who is not in college... (though they both suck,
and perhaps the college stoner spends more time stoned/drunk while in college
than
the regular "run of the mill" stoner of society (which might offset the whole
smarter college-student advantage LOL)...

Poll in next post!

All comments welcome, including wise-a*s remarks along the lines of "When I'm banging your ugly azz girl is when I play the most Online poker, ilbb"

Guess I deserved a shot/sarcastic insult response, etc.,
as
I did liberally apply a few sterotypes to all College Students, but
here are my observations, in a nutshell:

1. The games (limit, esp.) seem to get way tougher in at the end of the Spring Sem./beginning of the Summer

2. The games are great in the Fall (though this may be due to other factors, such as Football Season and sports betting increasing)

3. The games are especailly great during Winter Break.

but, I have no data, only my own observations from lots of play at a lot of the sites...

hmm. First off, I graduated not too long ago, and very little free time on my hands. Yeah, my friends and I actually took class seriously and studied a lot. Between studying, dating, classes, trips home, working, and more dating, not much downtime at all. But with that said, I think college students will definitely make time for poker. Most of the poker players I know/knew that were students find time either during class, on the weekend, or late night. If there is a will there is a way. I think the point made about college kids having a lot of disposable income is very subjective. Yeah, some students make a [censored] load bar tending etc, have things payed for, and don't know how to save, thus creating a nice roll to blow. Others are working two jobs just to get by and eating pasta roni is a celebration night compared to the usual top roman.
