The results of last year’s survey of undergrads, courtesy of the CSA Assessment Team, went public tonight—and the numbers are overwhelmingly good. You can check out a more comprehensive summary here, or just skim our highlights as you halfheartedly Apple+Tab between Reddit subpages:
- Of the 5,922 CC and SEAS students sent the survey link by email, 31% took the bait
- 73% said that the CSA is “meeting their advising needs” and 78% would recommend their advisers to others
- Only 51% said they’d turn to their adviser with “personal issues”
- A whopping 96% said they like the CSA’s new digs
- Choicest finding: “The name ‘Center for Student Advising’ connotes a hub of guidance and support”
- 85% reported that their adviser is knowledgeable about the curriculum
- Elusively, “some students expect quicker responses to emails”

@Anonymous so basically we have no idea how the rest of the 7 out of 10 students feel…
@Anonymous This is objectively false.
@Anonymous I want to know how those questions were worded. Could a survey administered by CSA perhaps be biased in favor of pro-CSA responses?
Indeed it could.
@Anonymous Not to mention that the only people who felt compelled to fill out the survey were those who had a good experience with their advisors, the rest of us the deleted the email as soon as we saw CSA.
