Fall 2018
In Person Surveys
Fall 2018 was the first semester for Ben the Survey Guy's sophomore year. Unlike his freshman year, where he lived on campus, he commuted in and out. This led to an increased focus on Twitter surveys as he spent less time on campus to give surveys.
Below is a selection of surveys from this time period.
