Fact 1 - Stronger Sense of Community on Campus
Independent college alumni surveyed are much more likely than public university graduates to agree there was a sense of community among students on campus (78 percent vs. 55 percent).

Survey Question: Please tell me how much you agree or disagree with “There was a sense of community among students at your college.” (Rating a “4” or a “5” on a 5-point scale with "1" meaning you "strongly disagree" and "5" meaning you "strongly agree.")
