The survey gathered the opinions of 240,580 freshmen who entered 340 colleges and university this past fall.

79% of the freshmen agreed strongly or somewhat that through hard work, anyone can succeed in American society. 47% agreed that undocumented immigrants should be denied access to public education. 48% felt that affirmative action in college admissions should be abolished.

We are heartened that so many of the freshmen believe that effort pays off. The other results reflect the schism in American society at large. Where do you stand?
