I doubt this is a wholly representative sample because I'm guessing a lot of people don't bother answering Stack Overflow surveys. I know I didn't, and I go to the site almost daily.

But lol, if the average student has 3.4 years experience, perhaps I should revise my numbers. On job applications and such, I only count experience where I was paid enough money to pay bills off it - I start in 2009 when writing that up, whereas I've actually been coding in some degree or another since about 2001 (and D since about 2006, though I also typically use late 2008 as the point where I got serious with it).
