University Student Experience Survey

University Student Experience Survey

We are looking for people interested in sharing with us the fun and headaches of studying at university! If you are interested in joining our online discussion or a one-on-one interview, please fill in the survey.

We are looking for current university students or people whose university program started before 2020. We want to understand your experience being a student and your expectation for the ideal university life. We will use the survey to learn about the type of activities and schoolwork you did. The goal is to gain insights into students’ unique lifestyles regarding their backgrounds, programs, and majors.

Your participation will provide valuable feedback for our research and help us improve the experience of aspiring university students. We only have a few spots available for this event. If you are interested in joining our online focus group discussion or a one-on-one interview, please complete this 5 to 10-minute survey. Your responses will be kept anonymous.

Please contact jolinchengzzo@gmail.com if you have any other questions.
