RE MHC WOMEN typical or atypical of other new students across the country?
A nationwide survey conducted by the UCLA Higher Education Research Institute
reveals much about students' goals and priorities. |
 MHC students are
typical in the extent to which they have: studied with other students, frequently
socialized with people of different ethnic groups, and drunk wine or liquor.
MHC students are
more likely to have: tutored another student, frequently felt overwhelmed,
performed volunteer work, frequently discussed politics, and played a musical
instrument.
MHC students are
less likely to have: participated in demonstrations, smoked cigarettes,
and drunk beer.
MHC students are
more likely to rank as "essential" or "very important" these items: influencing
the political structure, writing original works (such as poems and novels),
being involved in a program for cleaning up the environment, helping to promote
racial understanding, participating in a community-action program, developing
a meaningful philosophy of life, and keeping up-to-date with political affairs.
MHC students are
less likely to rank as "essential" or "very important" these items: being
well off financially, becoming successful in their own business, raising
a family, and having administrative responsibility for the work of others.
Also, 94 percent
of the class expect to go on to get a further degree, 62 percent of the class
expect to get a doctorate, and 69 percent say the chances are very good that
they will be satisfied with college.
