Survey: Most Students Approve of Education Quality, Climate

Public doubts about higher education may be increasing, but three in four current students rate the quality of education they’re receiving as good (46 percent) or excellent (27 percent), according to just-in results from Inside Higher Ed’s annual Student Voice survey. This is relatively consistent across institution types. Initial survey results hold more good news for higher ed: Most of the 5,025 two- and four-year students surveyed say they’re somewhat (58 percent) or very (20 percent) confident that their education and experiences during college have prepared them for success (however they define it) in life after college. This, too, is consistent across institution types.
