Hello and thank you for taking Swipe Out Hunger's 2024-25 Student Survey! The purpose of this survey is to learn more about the experiences of college students all over the nation who are accessing food security resources. Your words, insights, and voice will be used to improve Swipe's resources and methods for ending college student hunger. 

 

Information gathered from this survey will remain anonymous, and your email or other identifiable responses will not be shared with your campus. 

 

There are about 22 questions, only some of which are open responses, and none of which are required. 

If you are not currently enrolled in an institution of higher education, when was the last time you were enrolled? 
i.e. Bachelor's in Psychology, Associate's in Accounting
How old are you?
How would you describe your race and/or ethnicity? Select all that apply.
Swipe Out Hunger seeks to build a full, holistic picture of the student experience of hunger representative of all student populations. As a reminder, all information provided will be used to understand diverse student experiences and will remain confidential. Any identifiable information will NOT be associated with your answers. Do you identify with any of the following statements? Select all that apply.
What is your current employment status? 
Housing status

The next set of questions are where we want to learn more about your experiences using resources to get your basic needs met. Think about the resources on your campus you've used over the past academic year (2023 - 2024). Keep in mind this is a national survey and not all answer options may be applicable to your specific campus.

How did you learn about the resources you used? Select all that apply.
How often did you rely on the resources above to meet your needs?
How much of your daily food comes from these resources? (if on SNAP think about how much of your food budget comes from SNAP, too!)
Which of these statements below describe the barriers you face in getting enough nutritious food? Select all that apply.
If you selected that you don't have enough supplies or appliances, please check supplies you with you had access to for food preparation. Select all that apply.
Combining the food I am able to purchase with the resources I have accessed, I have enough nutritious food for myself and my household...
Think about each of the following statements and select all that you agree with.
Have you ever been denied access to your meal plan or other dining services due to a past due balance owed to your university or college?
I feel like my college/university is supportive of students who are experiencing hunger.

That's a wrap on the bulk of our questions! Here are a few last opportunities to share YOUR thoughts! Please share your experience, thoughts, insights as a current or recent college student. Your input will be de-identified, meaning we will edit out any identifiable information before using any of your input below. Thank you so much for getting this far, only a few questions to go!
