<p>hoedown,
I don’t know if COFHE provides a full public report. Do you? There have been press reports over the years about their results as they relate to individual schools, including the link below for Harvard. </p>
<p>[Student</a> life at Harvard lags peer schools, poll finds - The Boston Globe](<a href=“http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2005/03/29/student_life_at_harvard_lags_peer_schools_poll_finds/]Student”>http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2005/03/29/student_life_at_harvard_lags_peer_schools_poll_finds/)</p>
<p>Despite the level of dissatisfaction, however, Harvard has retained its freshmen at the rate of 97%, 98%, and 97% for the last three years. I think that such an example demonstrates the power of the brand and how this helps keep students enrolled, even if they aren’t fully happy. My guess is that if a school like Trinity (also part of COFHE) had students expressing sentiments similar to what Harvard students have made, then you’d see a lower freshmen retention rate at Trinity.</p>
