The Student Center Network ("SCN") successfully reaches virtually every demographic of teens and young adults, age range 13-24. Our total network traffic hovers around 4 million pageviews per month, with approximately 300,000 unique monthly visitors. We have a combined network membership of over 910,000. Since its inception, SCN has successfully served over 2 billion ads to users from literally every country in the world.
Today's teenagers and young adults are a unique generation (aptly named "Generation Y"). Unlike the generation before them, or the generation of their parents, today's young adults use the Internet more than any other demographic group. Some interesting facts about this generation:
- They are the first generation to grow up with the Internet
- As the children of the Baby Boomers reach college age, there will be more teens in the United States than there were at the height of the Baby Boom.
- Almost every high school in North America is now wired for Internet access
- Almost every college student uses the Internet on a daily basis
