      	<dc:description>The principal purposes of this national longitudinal study
 of the higher education system in the United States are to describe
 the characteristics of new college freshmen and to explore the effects
 of college on students. For each wave of this survey, each student
 completes a questionnaire during freshman orientation or registration
 containing some 200 items covering information on academic skills and
 preparation, high school activities and experiences, educational and
 career plans, majors and careers, student values, financing college,
 and a variety of demographic questions such as sex, age, parental
 education and occupation, household income, race, religious
 preference, and state of birth. Specific questions asked of
 respondents in the 1967 survey included average grade in secondary
 school, how many colleges they had applied to for admission,
 accomplishments during their high school years, highest academic
 degree they intended to obtain, concerns about financing their
 education, if they were a twin, source of financing for the first year
 of school, dating patterns, number of close friends, which academic
 and athletic activities they performed competently, and what they
 hoped to accomplish in college. Respondents were also asked to list
 their probable career occupation, first, second, and least appealing
 major field of study, and activities they engaged in during their
 previous year in school. Also elicited were respondents' opinions on
 the importance of various individuals and events in their decision to
 enroll in college, assessments of achieving certain goals during their
 college years, and general attitudes about faculty and other
students.</dc:description>
