From Welcoming Unstructured Free Time to Avoiding It
Jordan, Katherine A.; Anderson, Denise M.
College Student Affairs Journal, v39 n1 p14-27 2021
Leisure experience during free time has many benefits yet employed college students have limited available free time. Utilizing semi-structured interviews (N=34) during the spring and fall of 2017, this study explored free time experiences of college students employed on campus. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed by a team of three researchers. Findings revealed that leisure experiences during both unstructured and structured free time varied based on leisure skills and knowledge. The findings highlighted areas in need of future research regarding how college students employed on campus negotiate leisure experiences during free time.
