Undergraduates Rate Their Experience

Results are in for the 2012 University of California Undergraduate Experience survey (UCUES). The survey covers most aspects of students' academic and co-curricular experience, including instruction, advising and student services.

Here are highlights of what UC Merced undergraduates who completed the survey in the spring say about their experience:

• 87 percent somewhat to strongly agree that they belong on this campus
• 80 percent somewhat to very often had a class in which the professor knew their name
• 84 percent occasionally to very often raised their standard for acceptable effort due to high standards of a faculty member
• 36 percent spend some time during their week in paid employment
• 54 percent spend some time during their week performing community service or volunteer activities
