Fact 4 - Community Building
Independent college alumni surveyed are more likely than public university graduates to believe that contributing to their community is extremely important (43 percent vs. 32 percent).

Survey Question: In your current life and career, how important is it to you to contribute to your community? (Rating a “5” on a 5-point scale with "1" meaning "not at all important" and "5" meaning "extremely important.")
