2016 Results and Summary

The 2016 Survey of New Students was administered to the entering fall cohort of UC Berkeley freshmen, FPF and transfer students. Of the 1,061 FPF students invited, 556 (52%) responded to at least one of the first block of survey questions and 378 (36% of those invited) made it through to the end of the survey and submitted it.

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

Part 2:  Background information

Part 3:  A randomly assigned module emphasizing academic experience, civic engagement, personal development, or items of special interest to the campus
