If you've been tuned into the news at all in the past few months, you've heard about college women coming forward to claim that they had been sexually assaulted on their campus, reported it to someone in the administration at their school and left with little to no help in absolving the tragedy.
A new study published online by the Journal of Adolescent Health suggests college sexual assault may be far more prevalent than previously believed. The study, titled "Incapacitated and Forcible Rape of College Women: Prevalence Across the First Year," which focused on first-year female students at one New York college, attempted to measure how frequently rape or attempted rape occurred by having female students fill out surveys throughout their freshman year.
StartClass looked at data provided by the U.S. Department of Education and found which colleges had the most reported on-campus sexual assaults per capita from 2003 to 2013.
