Survey "How are you" 2023

Following the positive repercussions of previous editions, the "How are you?" project has been reconducted for a fourth edition. The survey ran from November 9 to November 30, 2023, and was conducted online among 1905 students, i.e. all new students enrolled at Unifr in the autumn semester 2023/2024 in a Bachelor's, Master's, DEEM or PhD program.

Objectives

The purpose of this survey is to create a connection with newly enrolled students, to enquire about their adaptation to Unifr and to inform them about the offers and support services available on campus. The data collected allows Uni-Social to identify any difficulties that new students may face, and to get involved in order to remedy them.

Some figures

Within the framework of this survey, 480 new Unifr students (25%), i.e. almost one in four of the students, expressed their questions, their doubts and the difficulties they encountered during their first weeks of study.

• 78 % of students feel well integrated into their new university environment
• 32 % of students report low morale
• 51 % of students have difficulty managing stress
• 59 % of students report organizational difficulties

• 43 % of students work in parallel with their studies, more than half of them (60%) at a rate of less than 20%
• 10 % of students finance their studies mainly through gainful employment

• 59 % of students report difficulties in concentrating and memorizing
• 34 % of students consider themselves to be lacking in effective work method
• 17 % of students are looking for an internship
• 45 % know about the learning strategies portal

Responding to identified difficulties by developing appropriate tools

The data collected in previous editions has enabled Uni-Social to observe the following difficulties: more than half of Unifr students are regularly confronted with organizational concerns during their studies (54% in 2022), more than half of Unifr students frequently experience difficulties in concentrating and memorizing (55% in 2022), almost half of Unifr students high levels of stress (47% in 2022), and a third of Unifr students regularly report fears and blockages (34% in 2022).

Based on this observation, Uni-Social has developed an online portal dedicated to learning strategies. This self-service portal offers tips, advice and tools on organization, planning, time management, stress management, concentration, note-taking and more. The creation of this portal is a new offer provided by Uni-Social since May 2022 to all Unifr students. The topics covered by the portal are constantly being developed and adapted to the needs identified through the survey.

Promoting well-being

The data collected in this survey reflects the feelings and concerns of newly enrolled students at Unifr. The observations made allow Uni-Social to base itself on concrete and identified needs in order to objectively reflect on how to improve the quality of the support services and offers.
