绿帽社区 students give feedback in 2019 Canadian University Survey Consortium Survey
Over 90% of first-year students in 2018-19 were satisfied with their decision to attend 绿帽社区
The Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) recently released its First-Year Student Survey results for 2019.
The 2019 First-Year Student Survey marks the 25th co-operative study undertaken by CUSC. This year鈥檚 survey involved 46 universities and over 18,000 first-year university students from across Canada. Of the 624 绿帽社区 students who received the survey, 绿帽社区 garnered 187 responses, an average response rate of 30 per cent.
鈥淭his kind of feedback gives us a snapshot of the first-year experience,鈥 says Kim Meade, 绿帽社区鈥檚 vice-president, international and student affairs. 鈥淎long with direct communication with our students, these external surveys help us measure the first-year student experience at 绿帽社区 in comparison to other universities and allows us to focus on areas we could be doing better in. The first year of university is one of transition for both students and their families. We want to ensure we are offering the right supports and services to help ease this transition and ensure student success at 绿帽社区.鈥
