Assessment Results

Throughout the year, Residence Life conducts a variety of different surveys in order to get feedback from our residents.  Below are the results to some of our surveys. Please note that only surveys completed online can be posted here.

Information from the 2010-2011 EBI survey (n=562):

72.4% of students showed some level of interest in Missouri Hall joining Centennial Hall and Ryle Hall as a trayless dining facility.  Going trayless helps the dining halls to use less water and energy to clean trays, and also helps students take less food, which in turn produces less waste in the trash at the dining halls

Convenience, Scholarships, Proximity to Classes, Community, and Cost are the top five reasons Truman students choose to live on campus.

67.7% of students find hall renovations to be an important factor when choosing to return to campus.
