Examined the characteristics of the students who entered Duksung Women's University in 2000. The total number of 889(out of 1275) undergraduates completed an autobiographical questionnaire which inquires about demographic variables, family environment, satisfaction with the university, expectancies of a campus life, value system, and self-concept.
Results show that a majority of the students were graduated from high schools located in Seoul or its vicinity. Both of their parents are alive, in the middle or higher socioeconomic groups and of high educational accomplishment (at the lowest, high school graduates). One of the replicated findings is that students are highly interested in career development. A great proportion of the students reported that they entered the college for the purpose of career preparation.
The results also indicate that many students have chosen our university solely based on their grades and only a few are satisfied with their choice, which calls for proper measures in the future.
Other results such as the characteristics unique to each college are also summarized and several suggestions are presented in the discussion section.
