Institutional Profile : Student Satisfaction Survey - Fall, 2001 : Responses by Survey Item 28-75

 

Summary

Top

This ranking of items twenty-eight through seventy-five shows that for the most part, students agree that they are satisfied with the cleanliness of the campus grounds and campus buildings, feel safe and secure on campus, and that SVSU has a good reputation within the community. On the other hand, they are less likely to agree that attendance at varsity athletic events is an important part of their SVSU experience and that athletic events are promoted in such a way as to encourage their attendance, and that there is adequate parking on campus or that students have a voice in college policies.
