This study assessed student satisfaction with college in seven areas: academic programs; student services; campus atmosphere; social activities; career services; academic support; and general satisfaction. A total of 720 randomly selected students at Boise State University (BSU) (Idaho) were surveyed in fall 1996; data from the American College Testing College Outcomes Survey were used to compare BSU students with students at public four-year colleges nationwide. The study found that areas where BSU students were most satisfied related to the academic program, with the highest ratings being given to quality of instruction. The four areas where at least 25 percent of students were dissatisfied included: transfer of course credits from other colleges; flexible degree requirements; financial aid services; and concern for students as individuals. BSU student satisfaction ratings generally differed only slightly from those of other public four-year colleges. Few differences were found between students who were enrolled full-time or part-time. Students who indicated that they intended to stop out or transfer to another college next year were similar in their lack of satisfaction with some aspects of the college centered on feelings of isolation or frustration with degree requirements. Appended are tables of survey data and the survey. (SM)
