This is the first report from a series of studies on the evaluation of students' life at ICU as an application for the comprehensive school assessment at college level, whose principle and methodology was described in the preceding article. (Hara & Watanabe) Problem: Since the campus atmosphere determines to a certain extent the basic ground for the success or failure of any educational program, the present investigation tries to focus its attention on the students' general attitudes towards their student lives i.e. how much they recognize the importance of, and how much they have been satisfied with, the various characteristics and activities of the university at present. Method: In October 1967, a questionnaire, "A survey of attitudes toward student life", was distributed to all Japanese undergra-duate students in the Liberal Arts College at ICU, and 197 responses were collected. The questionnaire consisted of 121 items in 8 areas, which were considered as major components of student life. The 8 areas of student life were as follows: 1. General impression of ICU. 2. Academic programs. 3. Extracurricular activities. 4. University events. 5. Unique characteristics of ICU. 6. Educational and living facilities. 7. Contacts with the off-campus world. 8. Daily living circumstances. The responses to these items were obtained from two aspects: -how important they thought these were, and how much they were satisfied. The gap between these two were considered to reflect the degree of unfulfilment or frustration. Individual sub-total scores for those 8 areas were used as basic data for statistical analysis. For group comparisons, the subjects were also subgrouped into various categories according to their sex, years at college, age, clubs to which they belonged, decisions for career, major fields of study, interest in Christianity, and types of residence. Results: The distributions of individual scores for the areas were examined by analysis of variance, whose chi-squares are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3. For those categories that showed statistical significance t-tests were then employed to check those group differences, and the significant mean differences are shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 3. Conclusion: As a whole, the subjects rated their student life as important. Consequently, they indicated some discontent with their present condition. Since general problem areas in their student's lives, at least from their viewpoint, have been exposed very clearly, more thorough scrutiny of each item is strongly recommended. Also, by comparison with other groups, such as faculty and alumni, it should be possible to detect the problematic foci and to find causes for their frustrations as well as to suggest some possible remedial programs for their unhappy student life.
