How do college students know how to build an economical society and an economical campus? Can you practice? Xinyang Normal University's Investigation Report on College Students' Consciousness and Behavior of Saving shows that rational consumption is the mainstream, while perceptual consumption is more prominent, and excessive frugality needs attention.
