Over the past three weeks, 599 Carroll students participated in the 2008 Student Life Annual Survey on SurveyMonkey.com. The link to the survey was available on the Student web page on the college's website. This week's entries in Dr. Hardwick's Blog will highlight the survey results.
Survey participants were evenly divided among freshmen (24.9%), sophomores (24.9%), juniors (24.0%) and seniors (26.2%).
Nearly two-thirds of the survey participants lived in campus housing (65.0%) with a third living off-campus housing (35.0%). The gender of survey participants was reported as 35.8% male and 64.2% female.
