Fact 3 - Student Enrichment
Independent college and university students are more likely than public university students to say they performed community service, worked on research with faculty, studied abroad, or studied foreign languages. For instance, 67 percent of independent college seniors say they had a capstone senior course or program, compared with 51 percent of the public university seniors.
