Approximately 2,000 questionnaires were distributed to students at the six participating schools in December, 1973. The self-administered questionnaire explored factors which affected satisfaction with college and influenced the student's choice of college. It included items on career and marriage expectations, attitudes, interests, and future plans. Sex role attitudes were also investigated. In addition, objective data were collected from each of the six schools regarding health, athletic and residential facilities, admissions and financial aid, work grants and employment opportunities, curriculum and instruction, student counseling, and activities.
Some objective data are confidential.
All paper and computer-accessible data are housed at the Murray Center. The samples were drawn by randomly selecting names from student rosters from each of the schools listed above. The sample size varied directly with the size of the school such that equally representative samples were drawn from each school. Approximately 2,000 questionnaires were distributed to students at the six participating schools in December, 1973. To date, no analysis of non-response bias has been conducted.
