| Summary | Since 1963 we have conducted an annual survey in October for the purpose of realizing a fuller campus life by clarifying, in particular, the economic life of university students as well as their consciousness and activities, and by making the findings reflect on our business and various activities. This 1995 survey, the 31st of the kind, was carried out when the student life continued to suffer from the recession, as seen in the state of its economic sphere as well as in the darkest employment prospects ever. The survey indicates, however, students who do not know what the campus life was like during the "bubble" period take such a severe living situation as a fact of life, and manage to make ends meet in the given environment. Consequently, the survey reveals, they evaluate their living as "average." |
