Description
In this study we explore what students report as detracting from satisfaction with their overall college experience. To identify the distracting events we created focus groups where students could voice their concerns about their college environment. Through the focus groups we identified the top ten occurrences that students find unfavorable. The results of this study will provide useful information to college administrators about how to restructure the college experience and to create a better learning and living environment for students.
