This paper outlines some of the results of a survey of student perceptions of academic andnon-academic experiences The survey was conducted at Shiga University during 1998-1999and targeted the first-year Student cohort with some second to fourth year Student participants.It specifically concentrates on the results from the questions that were aimed at examining thevarious factors that possibly influence the students' initial perceptions of their academicexperience. It concludes that students' perceptions of their academic experience weresignificantly influenced by the following factors a) students' choice of university andspecifically whether they could enter their first choice of university, b) students' choice oftheir faculty and specifically whether they could enter the faculty of their choice c) students'choice of their major and specifically whether they could study the major of their choice, d)the nature of courses and specifically how students chose their courses, how they wereassessed in courses, how much time they studied for courses, and whether they understoodtheir courses, and e) the student relationship with the faculty. Further, the combined factors ofthe process of major allocation, the lack of systematic course structure and assessment, andthe poor communication that existed between faculty and staff resulted in a significantnumber of students experiencing an overall disappointing academic experience.
