First-Year Student Computer Inventory Data

First-Year Student Computer Inventory Data

The information below was collected by the Computing Advisors (CAs). The CAs are a group of first-year students hired to advise and assist their peers with computing. There is one CA per dormitory association (which generally consists of two dorms).

This data is separate from the information collected in ITC's annual User Survey. The CAs attempted to survey each person in their first-year housing association. Approximately 85% of all first-year students were contacted.
