Undergraduate Student Experience & Satisfaction Survey

Hi! We're gathering feedback to improve the undergraduate experience on campus. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. This should take about 6-8 minutes, and your honest answers — good or bad — genuinely shape what changes next year.

What is your current class standing?

• Freshman / first-year
• Sophomore
• Junior
• Senior
• Fifth-year or beyond
• Other

How satisfied are you with each part of your undergraduate experience?

Overall, how satisfied are you with your undergraduate experience so far?

In the past academic term, how often did you use academic support resources such as tutoring, office hours, or a writing/study center?

• Never
• Once or twice
• A few times a month
• Weekly or more

Which of these, if improved, would make the biggest difference to your undergraduate experience?

• More available academic advising appointments
• Expanded mental health and counseling services
• More career services and internship support
• Increased financial aid or affordability support
• Better campus housing options
• More diverse clubs and extracurricular activities
• Improved classroom technology and facilities

How strongly do you feel a sense of belonging to your campus community?

How would you rate the overall value of your undergraduate education relative to its cost?

Ask the respondent to explain the reasoning behind their overall satisfaction score, anchoring on a specific recent experience (a class, an advising interaction, a campus event) that shaped that number. If their belonging score was low, probe what makes them feel disconnected and from whom (peers, faculty, or the institution). If they picked a top improvement priority in the trade-off question, ask what a better version of that resource would look like in practice. For very high or very low overall satisfaction, dig into whether that view is recent or has been consistent since they arrived.
