A study was conducted by the Trumbull Campus (TC) of Kent State University, in Ohio, to determine the motivations, objectives, and level of satisfaction of transient students, or students pursuing a degree at another institution but enrolled in courses at TC. Surveys were mailed to 50 transient students enrolled in summer 1993, with completed questionnaires received from 60% (n=29). An analysis of responses revealed the following: (1) the most important factor in the decision to take classes at TC was location, cited by 23 respondents; (2) the majority of respondents indicated that they had made their decision to take summer courses at TC in or before January, February, and March; (3) students cited 21 different community colleges and universities within Ohio and other states as their home institutions; (4) the average age of respondents was 21 years; (5) while transient students seemed to have no particular preference of courses, they did lean toward those that fulfilled liberal education requirements; (6) the majority indicated that they were beyond their freshman year; (7) students' self-reported grade point averages (GPA's) ranged from 2.6 to 4.0, with an average of 3.27; and (8) overall, respondents rated the campus environment and services very high, while the three highest-rated areas were registration, teaching quality, and campus cleanliness.
