US Students Study 41% Less Than Brits and Enjoy Better Work-Life Balance

New Study by Aithor.com and Tutor AI

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / Aithor's research team analyzed over 38,600 US and UK students to find that Americans study 41% less than Brits and enjoy a better work-life balance.

Partnered with Tutor AI, Aithor's research also found that US students study 20 hours less per week compared to UK counterparts. The biggest difference lies in the studying approach and structure of the day, where UK students treat Sunday as a full working day, while US students have a smoother and more structured schedule to prioritize rest during the weekends.

The research relied on questionnaires and data sampling, where Aithor.com partnered with Tutor AI to collect responses from students actively using AI tools in their academic work. The research was based on data provided by 17,600 US and 14,500 UK students with additional 6,500 responses (5,000 US and 1,500 UK) provided by Tutor AI.

Findings revealed several cultural, scheduling, and technological differences

Drastic contrast between the time UK and US students allocate for study are caused by differences in the average number of studying hours, work-life balance, AI adoption rates, and approaches to learning in general:

• US students study 20 hours less per week (4 days): UK students study 6 days, treating Friday and Sunday as full working days, resulting in UK students working 41% more.

• AI adoption rates differ: 52% of UK students frequently use AI, 22% periodically, and 12% generate over half their work with AI. In the US, 42% often and 22% periodically use AI tools.

• Preference for free AI tools: 54% of UK and 65% of US students avoid paid AI tools, though 25% of UK and 23% of US students choose premium options.

• Challenges with AI-generated content: Students rely on AI for references and structure but face penalties when detected by grading systems.

• Work-life balance contrasts: US students prioritize sleep and personal time, avoiding late-night sessions, while UK students often study until 9-10 pm.
