Each school year, before a new crop of college students hits campus, Beloit College in Wisconsin releases its report chronicling the mindset of the incoming class.  The annual list looks at cultural factors that help shape the lives of students.

For this year's incoming Freshman class, most were born in 1994 which means they are likely more familiar with Hillary Clinton than former President Bill Clinton.

They don't need radios and they watch TV on their laptops and smart phones. And to them, everything is digital including music, movies, and e-books.

A couple of things in the report may seem odd. They've never seen a paper airline ticket, exposed bra straps have always been a fashion statement, and many celebrities the college class of 2016 follows are famous just for being famous.
