-
The Survey of Community Attitudes and Perceptions (SCAP) was conducted to determine some estimate of how Frostburg State College is perceived by its local community; how people learn about the college, its offerings, and its programs; what people know about the college factually; where do they think the college is headed in terms of growth and expansion; and what impact do they feel the college has on the community. Newspapers and friends and acquaintances emerged as the 2 major sources of knowledge regarding the college. If was found that length of residence in the area is associated with positiveness or negativeness of opinions perceived about the college. Respondents tended to underestimate size to a significant degree. A majority of respondents (69%) indicated that they believed the college had grown rapidly in recent years and 57% expressed the desire that growth be more moderate. Most respondents (60%) who indicated that they attend cultural-educational events do so in the local area, and 53% indicated that they attend events at the college. Seventy-one of the respondents reported daily or weekly contact with college students and 60% of all respondents selected very positive descriptiors in defining the typical Frostburg State College student.
