First-Year Computer Inventory

First-Year Student Computer Inventory
Fall 1998

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 first-year residence hall.

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 residence hall. Approximately 80% of all first-year students were contacted.
