CIRP Freshman Survey Results for 2012
-
-
The current economic situation has a major influence on first-year students' decisions about which college to attend and their reasons for pursuing higher education. These and other results from the 2012 CIRP Freshman Survey are based upon responses from 192,912 first-time, full-time students entering 283 four-year colleges and universities.
New questions on the survey indicate that there is a large mismatch between students' expectations and the reality of time to college completion. Given the increasing number of students concerned about college affordability and the significant cost of adding an extra year of college, students could benefit from a better understanding of individual college graduation rates.
Our monograph, "The American Freshman: National Norms for 2012" examines the impact of the economic situation, changing political and social views, and changing patterns of where first-year students are living while going to school. The complete report can be downloaded, you can also access a summary of the report, the press release, and a powerpoint with selected findings.
