This report describes several facets of students' experiences at Cypress College as viewed through the eyes of students. The methodology used in this case study was participant-observation, with observations made over a period of months, in as many parts of the campus as possible, and at random times during the day. The aim of this approach was to allow collection of information that would permit reporting of students' perceptions, whether such perceptions were "really" correct or not. It should be noted that the student perceptions described in this report are those of ordinary students, who were not outstanding in any way. Among the many perceptions of the college by students were: the physical plant and layout of the campus was both a source of aggravation and a pleasant experience; the faculty/administrator/staff person was accorded a higher status than was the student; administrators were persons to be avoided and were generally viewed as threatening; the student was, to a certain degree, "invisible" to other non-students; and, students perceived the "House Plan" of the college as a method of organization that permitted decentralized, more personal sites for meetings, activities, record-keeping, and college counseling. A bibliography pertinent to ethnography is attached. (JDS)
