The survey was hosted on Zoomerang
(http://www.zoomerang.com), an online survey hosting site, and was fielded in April
2006. Only undergraduate users were included in our sampling frame. A total of 286
students completed the online survey, yielding a response rate of 35.8% (see Table 1
for sample demographics). Demographic information about non-responders was
not available; therefore we do not know whether a bias existed in regards to survey
participation. However, when we compare the demographics of our sample to information
we have about the MSU undergraduate population as a whole, our sample
appears to be representative with a few exceptions. Female, younger, in-state, and
on-campus students were slightly overrepresented in our sample.2
