Have you wondered what Kalamazoo College students think
about the new fields used by some of our fall and spring sports teams? A survey
conducted by 2 Kalamazoo College students shows how different groups feel about
the fields project. The different groups compared included: athletes vs.
non-athletes, field sport athletes vs. non-field sport athletes, men vs. women,
and underclassmen vs. upperclassmen. There were both expected and unexpected
results from this survey.
Firstly, as you might expect, after
compiling the results of 62 surveys, it was found that athletes feel more
positively about the project than non-athletes. Also, field sport athletes
viewed the project much more positively than non-field sport athletes. This
particular result is interesting, yet not completely unexpected as these are
the athletes who are directly receiving the benefit of the new fields complex.
It was also found that there was no statistical significance
between being a male or female and being in support of the fields project. The
same was found for underclassmen and upperclassmen, meaning that these groups
viewed the project relatively similarly.
Overall, the results of this survey
were fairly expected, as athletes supported the construction of new athletic
facilities at a higher rate than non-athletes.
