Fact 1 - Faculty Interaction with Students
Fifty-six percent of independent college alumni surveyed say that they benefited very much from personal interaction with professors, a significantly higher proportion than alumni from other kinds of colleges and universities.

Survey Question: Please tell me how much you personally benefited from your college offering personal interaction with professors. (Rating a “5” on a 5-point scale with "1" meaning you did "not benefit at all" and a "5" meaning you "benefited very much.")
