Free Response Conclusions:Dislikes
Parking is by far the biggest issue. Comments focus on: Distance from Montagne to classrooms Lack of covered walkways or shuttle Shortage of spaces in senior lot
(construction) Definition of “senior” for parking access
![Page 17: Senior Survey Data: Overview. First administration fall 05 135 responses; grad class 608; 22% response rate Second administration spring 06 264](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f345503460f94c520c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Free Response Conclusions:Likes
Instruction Faculty as people Low student/teacher ratio Learning environment
![Page 18: Senior Survey Data: Overview. First administration fall 05 135 responses; grad class 608; 22% response rate Second administration spring 06 264](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f345503460f94c520c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Observations
Cluster of comments concerning distance education and desire for more flexible class scheduling suggests that this is a direction we should pursue.
Financial aid complaints were low, did not break the 5% point—a definite improvement
