The attitudes of American Asian students at San Francisco State University toward their education were studied. Responses were obtained from 585 students who were enrolled in Asian American Studies classes in spring 1986. Sixty percent of the sample were of Chinese ancestry, 20% were Filipino, and 20% were other Asian (including Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islanders). Findings include: 65% considered the quality of instruction at the university as either excellent or good; about 60% were pleased with the variety of courses and the content; 70% felt their Asian American studies classes were excellent or good; 58% rated the general education program as fair, poor, or very poor; 64% felt advising services were either fair, poor, or very poor; students were critical of career guidance and of the availability of financial aid; and 61% viewed the social, cultural, and recreational activities and facilities at the university as fair, poor, or very poor. Information was also obtained about the family background of the students. Comparisons of the responses of American-born Asian American students, immigrants, and immigrants of less than 9 years were made. (SW)
