* Results from the annual survey by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, a national longitudinal study of students in colleges and universities. Data from 261,217 students at 462 institutions were statistically adjusted to be representative of 1.6 million full-time freshmen entering college for the first time last fall. The survey included 3,082 Iowa State entering freshmen. A full report of the freshmen survey with detailed information is published annually at ISU by the Office of Institutional Research and will be available in March.
