Student Voice: Amplified

Student Voice, Inside Higher Ed’s ongoing survey and reporting series, seeks to elevate the student voice in institutional student success efforts and in broader conversations about how higher education can better—and best—serve students. Questions touch on academic life; health and wellness (including financial health); the college experience outside the classroom; preparing for life after college; affordability and cost of attendance; trust and more. 

Our annual survey of 5,065 two- and four-year students is supplemented by smaller flash surveys on timely topics. Student Voice is an independent editorial project presented with The Generation Lab. The 2025-2026 survey cycle, Student Voice: Amplified, is supported by the Gates Foundation.
