The survey did not pick up as many of the young students. The survey respondents are more likely to be from a BME group than what is reflecting in the sessions. This reflects the fact that the survey was carried out online and as such is likely to pick up more people who access their email regularly. However, the survey can still be used to understand what B2Ners want from their experience and in the future.
