I think maybe one of the biggest differences is that many American college students are working a full-time or nearly full-time job during the school year and just continue on with that as their summer employment. Fast food anyone? Students aren't as "footloose and fancy free" as I remember being. I can't count the number of part-time jobs I had while I was a student. Of course I didn't have car expenses either. Another difference, and we see this in the change in college dormitories, is that many American college students today would think they were seriously deprived if they were required to live in the employee dorms available in the parks. (In other words, they're spoiled.)
