2015 Cornell PULSE The Cornell PULSE (Perceptions of Undergraduate Life and Student Experiences) Survey asks currently enrolled undergraduate students about their involvement in various academic and extracurricular activities, their interactions with faculty and students, and their perceptions of their undergraduate experience. The 2015 Cornell PULSE was administered via the web in spring 2015. Of the 13,780 undergraduate students invited to complete the survey, a total of 4,892 students responded, yielding a 36% response rate. The results of the 2015 Cornell PULSE are displayed in the tables that follow. It may be most useful to refer to the survey instrument first in order to locate questions of interest. On the first line of each table, the responses for the applicable question on the survey are presented for Cornell undergraduate students as a whole. The responses of Cornell undergraduates are compared to the survey results of students from two different comparison groups: “Other Ivies” (the seven other Ivy League universities) and “Non-Ivies” (thirteen non-Ivy research universities). In order to highlight differences within Cornell, frequencies are also presented by class year, sex, race/citizenship, and undergraduate college.
