Highlights --
- The results indicate that the likelihood of students to describe themselves as “always happy” decreases with their income level. Sixteen percent of upper-class students said they were “always happy,” compared to 7 percent of lower-class students. A majority of students from all backgrounds said they were “usually happy” at the University.
- One of the major findings of the survey was that respondents who classified themselves as lower and lower-middle class were more likely to feel uncomfortable than middle-, upper-middle- and upper-class students in a variety of social contexts, including at fraternity or sorority events, at eating clubs, on athletic teams, during extracurricular activities and at weekend parties in eating clubs and dorm rooms.
