  1. 2013 Housing Needs Survey “We Change Lives by Providing Opportunities for Success.”

  2. Why this survey was conducted… • Determine what the housing experience of Southwest Tech students is like. • Determine whether the need for additional housing within the Southwest Tech district exists. • Learn what our students want in terms of housing availability. How was the survey administered? • Because we already had a Student Satisfaction survey scheduled for mid-March, we opted to piggy-back on this opportunity of having such a large audience of students. • A hard copy of the survey was inserted into the Student Satisfaction survey. • As we administered the Student Satisfaction survey, we also gave students the opportunity to participate in the Housing Survey. • All responses were manually entered into SurveyMonkey. This tool allows us to download and analyze the results using several different methods/formats.

  3. Who provided feedback? When the demographics of our sample audience closely matches the overall demographics of our student population, which it does, we can say with confidence the opinions/feedback provided in the survey are what we would expect from the majority of Southwest Tech students. A total of 960 responses from program students were obtained from the annual Noel Levitz Student Satisfaction survey in 2013. Of those, 707 (74% of the total) students also participated in the 2013 Housing Survey. Demographics for the sample audience are below. Demographics of students surveyed

  4. Where are our students coming from? • 144 respondents said they had to move in order to attend Southwest Tech (20% of all 707 students surveyed). This map indicates where students moved from. • 105 of those respondents who moved currently live either in Fennimore or within 15 miles of Fennimore. (15% of all 707 students surveyed)

  12. What did students say?

  13. Summary Assuming the samples are representative, it can be inferred that among the 960 students in our one- and two-year technical diploma and associate degree programs who were given the Noel-Levitz survey: • About 191 students without children would prefer to live closer to Southwest Tech. College housing provides room for 100. • About 48 currently living with children would prefer to live closer to Southwest Tech. The College offers no family housing. • Only about 172 students thought it difficult to find rental housing to fit their needs. • The most effective means of advertising is #1 word-of-mouth, #2 newspaper ads, and #3 (tie) internet ads and signage to attract drive-by’s. • Affordability and safety did not seem to be significant concerns.
