The Student Experience in Brief:
Xavier University of Louisiana
Active Learning
Each year the National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE) asks students at hundreds of colleges and
universities to reflect on the time they devote to various
learning activities. The topics explored are linked to
previous research on student success in college.
Results from NSSE can provide
prospective students with insights into
how they might learn and develop at a
given college. To help in the college
exploration process, NSSE developed A
Pocket Guide to Choosing a College to
provide students and their families key
questions to ask during campus visits.
The following responses were provided
by 441 randomly selected Xavier students on the 2011
NSSE survey.

Response rate (number of respondents divided by sample size) is adjusted for non-deliverable mailing addresses, students for whom contact information was
not available, and other students who were sampled yet unavailable during the survey administration.
b
This report is based on information from all randomly selected or census-administered students for both your institution and your comparison institutions.
Targeted and locally administered oversamples (i.e., non-randomly selected students) are not included in this report.
c
Sampling error is an estimate of the margin by which the true score for your institution on a given item could differ from the reported score. For example, if the
sampling error is +/-5% and 60% of your students reply "very often" to a particular item, then the true population value is most likely between 55% and 65%.
d
Percent of total respondents within each category. These results are not weighted.
e
Institution-reported data. This information was used to weight your Mean Comparisons, Frequency Distributions, and Benchmark Comparisons reports.
f
Students who identified their residence as "dormitory or other campus housing" or "fraternity or sorority house."

Interpreting the Mean Comparisons Report
Sample
Statistical Significance
The Mean Comparisons report is based on information from all randomly selected or censusadministered students for both your institution and your comparison institutions. Targeted and
locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are not included.
Items with mean differences that are larger than would be expected by chance
alone are noted with one, two, or three asterisks, referring to three significance
levels (p<.05, p< .01, and p<.001). The smaller the significance level, the
smaller the likelihood that the difference is due to chance. Statistical
significance does not guarantee the result is substantive or important. Large
sample sizes (like those produced by NSSE) tend to generate more statistically
significant results even though the magnitude of mean differences may be
inconsequential. Consult effect sizes (see below) to judge the practical
meaning of the results.
Variables
The items from the NSSE survey appear in the left column in the same order and wording as
they appear on the instrument. The name of each variable appears in the second column for
easy reference to your data file and the summary statistics at the end of this section. Response
options are also provided to help you interpret the statistics.
Benchmark
Items that make up the five “Benchmarks of Effective
Educational Practice” are indicated by the following:

Effect size indicates the
“practical significance” of
the mean difference. It is
calculated by dividing the
mean difference by the
pooled standard deviation.
In practice, an effect size of
.2 is often considered small,
.5 moderate, and .8 large. A
positive sign indicates that
your institution's mean was
greater, thus showing an
affirmative result for your
institution. A negative sign
indicates the institution lags
behind the comparison
group, suggesting that the
student behavior or
institutional practice represented by the item may warrant attention. An exception to this
interpretation is the “coming to class unprepared” item (item 1f.) where a negative sign is
preferred (i.e., meaning fewer students reporting coming to class unprepared).
Class
Results are reported separately for first-year students (FY) and seniors (SR). Institution-reported class ranks are used.

August 2011
Interpreting the Frequency Distributions Report
Variables
The items from the NSSE survey appear in the
left column in the same order and wording as
they appear on the instrument.
Benchmark
Items that comprise the five
“Benchmarks of Effective
Educational Practice” are indicated
by the following:
LAC=Level of Academic Challenge
ACL=Active and Collaborative
Learning
SFI=Student-Faculty Interaction
EEE=Enriching Educational
Experiences
SCE=Supportive Campus
Environment
Variable Names
The name of each variable appears in
the first column for easy reference to
your raw data file and the Mean
Comparisons report.
Sample
The Frequency Distributions report is based on information from all randomly selected or
census-administered students for both your institution and your comparison institutions.
Targeted and locally administered oversamples and other non-randomly selected students are
not included.
NSSE 2011 Engagement Item Frequency Distributions

Count
The Count column
represents the actual
number of students
who responded to the
particular option in
each question. Counts
are unweighted.
Column Percentage (%)
This column presents the weighted percentage of students responding to the
particular option in each question.
Weighting
Weights adjusting for gender and enrollment status (and by institutional size for comparison groups) are applied to the percentage column (%) of this report. Weights are computed
separately for first-year students and seniors. Weighted results present a more accurate representation of your institution and comparison group students. Only the column percents are
weighted. The counts are the actual number of respondents. Because the counts are unweighted and the column percentages are weighted, you will not be able to calculate the
column percent directly from the count numbers. Additional details about weighting can be found on the NSSE Web site. nsse.iub.edu/links/institutional_reporting

I really enjoy the fact that most of the faculty members within the science departments always have time
to help the students and are always in their rooms during office hours.

The quality of education at the university that I attend is one of prestige recognition, but the only problem
that I really have is the lack of a "real" campus life.

I believe that if you took the money we give to attend this school to improve on campus living
environments (e.g. CLEANER SHOWERS and microwaves that were made in the past 2 years in stead
of the prehistoric ones that we do have) students who live on campus like myself would perform better in
classes.

Xavier is a good school, it's just not for everyone. The housing is an ABSOLUTE disgrace and I definitely
would not choose to come here if I could go back in time, but I refuse to leave, so I'm making the best of
it.

Xavier University of Louisiana is a great school in that the students and faculty are about to speak to
each other on a more personal level, rather than that of a student and teacher. Personally, this allows
me to feel more comfortable inside and outside of class when I need to speak to my professors.

The istitution that I attend should work more to providing a "REAL" college experience which requires the
administration to show an interest in the students; in order to increase their retention rate, otherwise it will
most ceratinly decline from it's already low rate.
Overall experience is pretty good
None
This institution provides excellent core courses but very little strength in the liberal arts. Anything outside
of the sciences, mathematics and english is mediocre. The overall quality of life is below satisfaction.
I am an undergraduate Chemistry Pre-Pharmacy major in the College of Arts Science at Xavier
University. My integrity, more than anything, has compelled me to strive for excellence. I believe that
what I do now reflects on who I will become.Which is why I chose to attend Xavier. Xavier mission is to
help students reach their goals. The help provided from the teachers, students, and tutoring centers
serve as additional resources to help me achieve success.

Xavier University of Louisiana in my opinion is a very well prepared school that provides its students will
all they need to succeed on to the next level. Not only is education important to the University but
community service also is a large asset to their mission statement. This University will prepare its
students to go on into the “real world” will the skill and knowledge that they need to do so. The reason
that I selected that I would have chosen a different school was because I did not have a choice in going
where I wanted to. I have been attending summer programs at this University for two years so it was
easy for me to adjust although this school was not of my choice.

The food is horrible, there are little to no on campus social activities or games, this school is all
academic but has some of the best teachers I have ever had.

Xavier has a strong understanding of an academic education, but has a very poor understanding of the
need for social growth in college.
2
2
Overall, Xavier University of Louisiana provides a quite well-rounded, liberal arts opportunity to gain an
education. I have not only gained academic knowledge here, but many significant lessons that will help
me to strive on further in life. A college education is usually what you make of it, and Xavier provided the
essentials to allow students to create a fun environment to learn within.

I think this school should focus on teaching us the information and not justhaving us memorize what will
be on a MCAT.

I feel as though I have recieved a quality eduation while attending Xavier, however, since I have been
around other students while attending study abroad, the gap in the actual awareness of the average
Xavier student of the world around us is sadly lacking. Xavier must do more to encourage their students
to take an active role in the world society. "To create a just and humane society", one must actually
KNOW what's going on in society.

I love Xavier and I have learned an immense amount. All of my Psychology professors were helpful and
I could tell that they are truly dedicated to educating the students and helping them prepare for the
future. I feel prepared for graduate school and the world in general because of the education I have
received from Xavier. I wish that more people knew about how great the Psychology department at
Xavier really is. Also, because Xavier uses a well rounded approach to education Xavier students are
exposed to a curriculum that based on on across curriculum thinking. This sort of education allows the
students to see the world from a theological, philosophical, artistic, biological, sociological,
psychological, etc view. With this view I know that I am better equipped to take on the world and to help
others. I will always the education I have gotten from Xavier and will continue to sing its praises!
