Prepare a 2-3 page (hypothetical) model-based recommendation to the next MSU president on how to increase the happiness of the Montclair State University undergraduate student body.
1. Describe your model. What 5-6 factors (independent variables) would you consider to include in a model of the overall level of happiness of a college’s student body? (e.g. class size, overall enrollment, location, recreation, grade policy, etc.) Which factors would be positive and which negative? Is this data available? If not, where would you find it?
2. Where would Montclair State rank (decile) among all colleges in the U.S., in your opinion? Why?
a) Name a school that would be higher-ranked. Why do you think it would be ranked higher?
b) Name one lower-ranked. Why?
3. Over which factors in your hypothetical model do the Montclair State Unversity administration have the most control over? What would recommend as the TOP 3 metrics for the new President of MSU to focus on with the goal of increase the happiness of MSU students?
