Abstract	This study reports the demographic results from the 2002 National Survey of Student Engagement. In this year, comparisons were available for other urban institutions in addition to broader national institutions. The report provides information on age, gender, ethnicity, transfer status, living arrangements, parents educational background, annual income, students reasons for less than full-time status, expected time to graduation, reasons for graduation delays, and expected impact of students education on their careers. In addition, students estimated the amount of time spent on-campus outside of classes and time spent on studying, working, caring for family, and commuting. The major role that work had in many students lives provided a consistent backdrop for most findings. Less than half the Boise State students were of the traditional college age, while more than 80% of urban and national first-year students were in this range. More than half of the first year students at Boise State reported that neither parent had graduated from college. This figure was 46% for urban institutions, and 39% nationally. Some 77% of Boise State students reported working for pay off campus, compared to 59% at other urban institutions and 34% nationally. About a third of Boise State students were working more than 30 hours per week. The percentage expected to graduate in 4 years at other urban institutions was at least double that for Boise State.
