For the first time in several years, I got sent to a statistics
conference, and one of the speakers on the first panel (about cell
phones' impact on RDD surveys) was from Nielsen.

So, afterwards I asked him a question P Gage asked quite awhile ago,
soon after we learned that Nielsen was going to start including the TV
viewing habits of college students in its surveys.

So, how is the college sample drawn?  Here's how:  From the regular
household sample.  That is, if a regular Nielsen household contains a
college student living in a dorm, that student is asked to become part
of the panel.

That's not at all how I thought the college sample was drawn, but that's
it.
