The typical American college student is not necessarily the iconic four-year student we see in movies and on TV, as a new graphic from The Gates Foundation highlights.

The graphic — created by designer Eleanor Lutz and journalist Linda Kennedy — breaks down America's college population into an average of 100 students. A quarter of students have children, more than half have a part-time job, and almost everyone receives some form of financial aid, among other surprising facts.

The Gates Foundation recently released a letter outlining the foundation's goals for the next 15 years, in honor of the 15th anniversary of Bill and Melinda Gates' organization.

You can see the graphic's sourcing at the Gates Foundation website.
