The questionnaire contained 54 items measuring student perceptions of self-concept, human relations in the college environment, career options, course offerings, and support services. Participants were asked to evaluate the degree to which each item represented the real campus environment and the degree to which it was desirable. The survey revealed several conditions and services which the students found less than ideal, including: (1) their confidence in their ability to solve academic and personal problems and to succeed academically, socially, and in their career; (2) the degree to which they and their opinions were accepted and valued by peers and faculty; (3) their freedom to ask questions and express opinions in class; (4) their certainty about and enthusiasm for their career choice; (5) their concern for their grades and academic ability; (6) their ability to use the library, apply study skills, and prepare adequately for class; (7) the accessibility of instructors; and (8) academic advisement and personal counseling.
