  • Category: Student Life Survey
  • Dates : March 13 to May 21, 2023
  • Location: Online

The tenth edition will take place between March 13 and May 21, 2023. Over 245,000 students will be invited to respond to the CVO questionnaire.

The Student Living Conditions survey is the only nationwide survey dedicated to the study of living and studying conditions in France.
Each year, around 80% of higher education establishments take part in the survey. For the 2023 edition, 546 higher education establishments and 530 high schools have been invited to take part in the survey. This extensive coverage ensures that the survey is highly representative of the higher education field.

What's new for 2023

The questionnaire for the Student Living Conditions survey contains questions in common with the European EUROSTUDENT questionnaire, as well as questions specific to the survey carried out in France. It covers the following main themes: study path up to the time of the survey, study conditions (at the place of study, travel conditions, etc.), free time, paid work, housing, resources and expenses, health, food, parents and relatives, socio-demographic characteristics (social and geographic origins, gender, age). In order to better adapt to current issues concerning living and studying conditions, several changes have been made to this new edition, in agreement with the OVE's scientific board and college. Questions on the transition to Master's level and on mental health have been expanded, and others on distance learning have been introduced for the first time.
