Abstract
  • The purpose of this project was to begin to understand the effect that the first year of college had on OSU students. The Your First College Year survey was selected as the initial method to begin to gather institutional data that could help to inform conversations directed to program planning and the development of services. Another purpose was to begin to understand whether our current efforts to influence students were having intended results.. Survey subjects were first-time, full-time, first-year students (ft-ft-fy) enrolled in the 2003 Spring Term in the following classes: HHS 231, HDFS 240, HDFS 201, and WR 121. The sample was 50% of the population. Sample characteristics and the population characteristics did not appear to differ substantially. Assuming that all first year students were present in the selected courses on the day of the administration, the return rate was 40%. Unfortunately from the report of faculty, not all students who were enrolled in the courses were present during the class administrations. Thus, it was likely that the return rate was actually higher but there was not a way in which to make that determination. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented pertained to first-time, full-time, first-year students (ft-ft-fy). The number of part-time students and transfer students who responded to the survey was relatively small which limited the ability to generalize results. Additionally, some items were repeated from the 2002 CIRP Freshmen Survey that 153 of these students had completed just prior to entering OSU.
