So, my last paper was about how depression had risen over the past several decades in college students so I was going to focus on that in my survey by interviewing various adults around campus (such as deans, health center workers, etc).  However, I realized that this wouldn't be very representative of the whole student body as most likely these faculty members would only have contact with the students with problems.  I also was much more interested in the students' perspective as well as the changes that we must go through when coming to college.  So, I decided that I would instead survey college freshmen at Bryn Mawr.

 My questions:

1. Would you say you are happier in college than in high school?

2. Please rate your happiness in a) high school b) college on a scale from 1 (extremely unhappy) to 10 (extremely happy).

3. Would you say you are more stressed in college than in high school?

4. Please rate your stress level in a) high school b) college on a scale from 1 (extremely unstressed) to 10 (extremely stressed).

5. Were you ever diagnosed with depression before college?

6. If so, did you take medication?

7. If so, are you currently taking this medication?

8. Have you felt depressed since coming to college?

9. Have you been diagnosed with depression since coming to college? 

If you haven't taken my survey please do!
