The Student Intent Survey at Westchester Community College (WCC), in New York, is designed to determine students' primary reasons for attending WCC, where they learned about the college, and their future plans for completing their education. In November 1994, the survey was distributed to students in 66 English Literature and Composition courses, receiving responses from 412 students, of whom 277 were first-semester students and were included in the sample. An analysis of responses revealed the following: (1) 76.9% of the respondents were attending full-time, 50.2% were female, and 77.6% were under the age of 22; (2) 55.2% reported that their primary motive for attending WCC was to transfer to a four-year college, while 23.1% indicated that they wanted to prepare for a first career; (3) 33.8% indicated that they first heard about WCC from a friend or parent, 24.7% from a WCC student, and 23.7% from a high school guidance counselor; (4) 80.5% indicated that the low tuition at WCC was an important factor in their decision to enroll, while 61.2% cited the nearness of the campus to their home; and (5) with respect to future educational plans, 45.8% indicated that they intended to transfer to a four-year college before graduating and 37.9% that they planned to earn a degree.
