This study examined the perceptions of freshmen students regarding their first-semester experiences at a major land-grant institution. A questionnaire was developed based on a review of the literature related to factors that influence students' success. Factors that influence students' success included time management/goal setting, academic advising, stress, and institutional fit/integration. These data provide insights on perceptions of students' early experiences on campus. (Contains 3 tables.)
