image for Over 90% of College Students Today Regularly Use Netflix

New numbers show that an incredible number of today’s college students, more than 90%, have access to a Netflix account they regularly use.

In a new survey from LendEDU, only only 8% college students that responded to the survey said they don’t have a Netflix account.

That actually goes right in line with numbers from Piper Jaffray that showed almost 40% of teens watch Netflix every single day.

Their closest competitors, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, each came in at just 3% each for daily use.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re all paying for Netflix.

While only 34% of college students are actually paying for their own Netflix account, that’s apparently not too big of a concern for Netflix, who has taken a relatively lax attitude towards password sharing in recent years.

In short, Netflix feels they’re doing just fine as they are, even with password sharing.
