Speaking from experience//Questionnaires

As part of my research i wanted to get real evidence to support the concept that i am going to be doing/creating for this brief.

To start off with i wrote a questionnaire for college students about starting university and asking questions to suggest the sort of information they would like to receive and in what way to present it. I have posted this out over social networking websites and contacted my old college to ask them to fill in the survey too.

The questions:


Results
1. When starting university would you like to have any of these on offer from the university?
- information about the uni                                               22%
- information about resources
- something to help you get around uni                            44%
- something to help you in your studies                            44 %
- something relevant to living away from home                33%
- something about the area/town you will be living in      66%

2.What kind of information would you like to be given?
- advice                     44%
- informative             33%
- light hearted           11%
- facts                        44%
- general                    66%
- tips                          66%

3.How would you like the information to be presented?
- welcome pack style                                           77%
- booklet 
- poster                                                                 33%
- A physical 3d object                                          22%
- something you have to build yourself
- something that can be used on a daily basis       55%

4. Would you like the information to be presented visually or text based?
- visual            66%
- text                66%

5.Would you like the information to be something in which you can decorate your room with as well as having a purpose to it?
- yes        66%
- no          44%


So from this survey i have take away the following:
The concept should be around:
- the area to be lived in - Leeds
- something to help in studies
- something to help get around LCA

The type of information should be:
- general help
- tips
- facts
- advice

The concept should be presented:
- in welcome pack
- something to use everyday

It should be both visual and have text

Something that could be used with accommodation room - to decorate?

I also did a survey to ask my everyone on our course to see how they felt when they first started LCA

The questions for this were:




Results:
1. When you first moved to leeds, what were you thinking/ feeling?

2. When you first started LCA, what were you thinking/feeling?

3. After settling into LCA and starting your course, how did you feel?
