Less knowledge of SiT's services

International students in Trondheim have less knowledge of SiT's services than Norwegian students. This is one of the findings in a survey among the international students. In particular, knowledge of health services is low among the international students. Knowledge is generally lowest among the European students.

Our international students know less about us than the Norwegian

It is also a difference in how strong the students feel associated to SiT. In general, the Asian students and African men, have a strong association to SIT, while African women and European students have a weaker relationship.

The international students are less satisfied with SiTs goods and services than the Norwegian students. African men and Asian students generally seem to be very satisfied, while satisfaction is lowest among African women and European students. The international students are at least as satisfied as the Norwegian with the sports facilities. The satisfaction with day care is also very high. Despite these findings, the international students seem to be a little less content than the Norwegian.

2 / 3 of the international students live in SiT's flats while only 13% of the total student population in Trondheim is living with us. The international students also use our bookstores and healthcare services to a smaller extent than the Norwegian students. But the uses of SiTs services vary widely within the variations of gender and country of origin. For example, African students are largely living in a SiT flat and buyes books from SiT Tapir bookstores while they in a small extent use our gym.

SiT will now consider what kind of measures that should be taken in order to improve the international students' knowledge of our welfare services.
