Life on Campus

86% of residents responded to this survey! 

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback!

In the last few years, we've used feedback from this to make improvements in our halls and on our campus. Here are just a few improvements...

• kitchenettes in all the buildings,
• new recreation equipment in lounges & yoga rooms, massage chairs
• better lighting on campus, 
• updates to the Barn
• and topics that you want to hear about in SFOs.

The above list is just a few!

What you share with us matters! Even though portions of our survey are confidential, there are portions we can share that are really good news. Nearly all of these were higher satisfaction rates than last year. Here are a few:
