PHC Surveyor: Season 2: Episode 3 Results

Highlights:

The Add/Drop Girl Form is split evenly between those who approve, and those who don’t care. The disapproval rating is down at only 16.5% of the campus.

Men are more likely to approve and disapprove of the form. Women are more likely to not care one way or the other
Half of the people who took the survey provided additional comments. Here are a few notable ones from each side of the debate

Disapproving Female: “Even though it is intended to be funny, several girls have actually been treated like this on campus and it's kind of painful and insensitive”
Disapproving Male: “No guy should promote something that offends ANY lady (even if it is meant to be funny... if it isn't taken that way, then the joke shouldn't go public).”
Ambivalent Male: “There's an add/drop boy form too. Harmless fun.”
Ambivalent Female: “I don't find it offensive, it seems more like it is just making fun of how (sometimes badly) relationships are handled on this campus.”
Approving Female: “My boyfriend filled out the form as a joke last spring. I thought it was really funny. People make way too big of a deal about it.”
Approving Male: “I hope the girls here know that they are fantastic, and that no guy on campus seriously thinks like this. This form is making fun of both homeschooler relationship ineptitude and stereotypical objectivity. It's a joke and shouldn't be taken as anything more, and it definitely isn't a good reason to put your friendships in danger”

An overwhelming 90.3% of campus prefers to call the dorms by their real names: D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. Less then 10% use the other names. (Yes, I am biased, and I’m not afraid to show it.)

Men are over 3.5 times more likely to use the longer names when referring to the dorms.
A few people commented that they use different names depending on context, or on which dorm they are referring to. Women’s dorms are slightly more likely to be referred to by their number, and men’s by their names.
Over a quarter of freshmen prefer the longer names, and the number declines in a consistent curve in the later classes. This could be caused by two factors: the new students just haven’t learned the proper names yet, or this is a disturbing trend threatening our traditions, and all we hold dear in our conservative worldview.

42.7% of the campus would like to be in a relationship at this time. This is a reduction by approx. 8 percentage points from when Gregory asked the campus in March last semester. The percentage of students actually in a relationship has held remarkably steady at 23.3%, which is insignificantly less than in March (23.9%).

Almost 2/3^rd of the campus puts on their right shoe first. This tendency is especially prevalent in females, where almost 3/4 of them place their right shoe on first.

To be honest, I have no clue what this says about our campus.

Meanwhile, most of the campus is deficient when it comes to car maintenance. Only 22.5% of students could change the oil in their car.

If you do need your oil changed and have no clue where to go, try asking random men: 1 out of every 3 men could do it, while only 1 out of every 10 women could.

Almost half of the campus starts preparing their papers at least a week in advance. 5.8% wait till the last day.

Movies are the most popular entertainment choice on campus, by dollar spent, with books close behind.

Women are more likely to spend money on books or movies. Men are more likely to spend money on music and computer/video games. Men are also more likely to spend money on nothing at all.
I decided to investigate, and see if there were any trends that could be seen by looking at entertainment choices, and relationship status. Here are a few interesting data points:

60% of those who do not want to be in a relationship primarily spend their money on books.
55% of those who are in a relationship primarily spend their money on movies.
People who want to be in a relationship are the most likely to buy music, while those who have made it into a relationship are the least likely to buy music.

7.4% of men say they have no problem asking a girl out immediately after meeting her. 48% might be ready to act after knowing a girl for a month, and 30% would prefer to wait for at least one semester.

Random factoid: we’re a little over a month into the semester. 50% of guys have no excuse.

For the female only question, I accidentally included a rather significant error that completely altered the meaning of one of the answers. Unfortunately, this means that the data from that question is not usable. Sorry, people...
