“The statistics are based on survey responses of 219,864 first-year, first-time students attending 297 four-year colleges and universities full time in the fall of 2009. The figures were statistically adjusted to represent a national population of approximately 1.4 million such students. Because of rounding or multiple responses, figures may add up to more than 100 percent. ‘N/a’ means the question was not asked that year.” Chronicle of Higher Education
