Students' grades drop by about .12 points for every 93 minutes above the 106-minute average time spent per day on Facebook, according to the latest study on the topic.

Indeed, studies about the effect of Facebook on students' grades come out every month. This latest one we're referring to here is based on a survey of 1,839 college students conducted by Reynol Junco, in the Department of Academic Development and Counseling at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania.

OnlineEducation.net compiled the findings in the infographic reproduced below. Let us know what you think in the comments section.
