Students and Parent Orientation Survey 2000:
The purpose of the Student and Parent Orientation Surveys is to assess students and parents about students' experiences prior to coming to college and their expectations of their experiences at the Ohio State University (OSU). Included in this report are four mini-reports that present findings regarding 1) students' academic experiences and expectations, 2) students' involvement outside the classroom and students' relationships with others, 3) students' experiences and attitudes regarding alcohol use, and 4) students' attitudes and experiences regarding diversity. Comparisons are made between students' and parents' responses, between male and female students, and between students of various races/ethnicities. By understanding students' experiences prior to coming to college and their expectations of their college experiences, University initiatives and policies can be implemented to assist students with their academic performance, in becoming involved on campus, in their relationships with others, in using alcohol responsibly, and in creating a diverse community. Furthermore, understanding parents' perceptions and views assist the University in educating parents as well as serving their needs as well.
