Many: Uni Fact Book, 2 of 9
- Undergrad Students: 91.3667649951% of student pop
- Commuters: 93.9% of Undergrad Pop
- Male/Female: Near 10% skew in population towards Females
- Age: Traditionally aged students (less than 25 yrs): 76.3% of undergrad pop
- Race: Latino, White, Asian students constitute large % of student pop, with dramatic dip in % for Multiracial, Unreported, and African American (Across all students)
We should concentrate on these groups that are well represented in the university's student population so that we may gain a view of the average student while keeping costs and time low.
Accordingly, we should steer clear of areas of campus that are geared towards Graduate students and Dorm Students.
Additionally, we may want to conduct our surveys in locations on campus where younger students and Latino, White, Asian students might congregate.
Because the university has a heavy number of commuter students, we should survey near primary areas of in-flow and out-flow of commuters: near the parking lots and garages, bus stops, and the pedestrian tunnel and front of campus.
- Day/Nite: How many Day/Night students there are
- Hrs on Campus per Wk: How many hours students are on campus per week
- Self-pay/others pay: How many students pay for their tuition versus have others pay their tuition for them
As cannot find data for the factors above, we should drop them as factors that we are considering, as attempting to sample the population in a way that would not bias our study according to these factors would distract us and increase costs/time.
To increase your personal safety on campus, how much money would you be willing to pay the university each semester (through your tuition)?
- Female: 56%
- Male: 44%
