16. NSSE 91% of seniors at Clemson report that “if they could start over again” they would choose Clemson; compared to 88% at our peer and Top 20 institutions and 83% at Carnegie peer institutions. Freshmen at Clemson agree with seniors. 93% of our freshmen would choose Clemson if they could start over again, compared to 92% at peer and 90% at Top 20 institutions, and 85% at Carnegie institutions.

17. NSSE “Entire educational experience” – 95% of freshmen responded excellent/good; compared to 91% at peer and Top 20 and 87% at Carnegie institutions. – 94% of Clemson seniors responded excellent/good. The response at peer and Top 20 institutions is 90% and at Carnegie institutions 85%.

18. NSSE Freshmen trends

19. NSSE Findings CLASS PREPARATION – Students are statistically less prepared for class; they come to class without completing readings or assignments – Freshmen score lower in attending art exhibits, gallery, play, dance, or other theatre productions – Dissatisfaction is significant with graduate teaching assistants.

20. NSSE--Improvement DIVERSITY – Students report lower inclusion of diverse perspectives in class discussions and writing assignments (trend is moving in right direction) – Students report that the environment does encourage contact among students from diverse backgrounds, but students do not report the interactions taking place

21. NSSE and SSI Findings ADVISING – Mixed results are presented regarding the effectiveness of advising. NSSE results show that 70-80% of students rate the advising as good to excellent, but on the Student Satisfaction Survey only the gap between the importance of advising and satisfaction with advising was significant (1.14; third highest gap). Of particular concern is advising related to curriculum planning. – Only 14% of freshmen and 25% of seniors believe the faculty is available, helpful or sympathetic. – Students are dissatisfied with the protection of freedom of expression, commitment to racial harmony, disciplinary procedures, and the student handbook. – Registration effectiveness is an area for concern. The gap between importance and satisfaction was (1.23), the second highest.

22. NSSE and SSI Findings CAMPUS CLIMATE – Only 10% of freshmen and 16% of seniors believe the staff is helpful, considerate, or flexible. – Campus safety has the largest gap (1.76) between importance and satisfaction. The areas included parking (gap of 3.62), lighting of parking lots (gap 1.22), and security response time (gap 1.20).
