2014 Results and Summary

The 2014 Survey of New Students was administered to the entering fall cohort of UC Berkeley freshmen, FPF and transfer students. Of the 735 FPF students invited, 285 (40%) responded to at least one of the first block of survey questions and 212 (30% of those invited) made it through to the end of the survey and submitted it. Each student was randomly assigned to one of three topical modules (Academic Experience; Personal Development; Items of Special Interest to the Campus) in addition to the core Survey of New Students items.

This year's survey has four parts:

Part 1Early Berkeley experiences, academic and personal development, campus climate, your Berkeley plans and future aspirations, and evaluation of past educational experiences.
