Rosenthal says one reason other schools don't run similar surveys is that they are expensive. He speculates, also, that they may be afraid of getting less-than-stellar results.
Are they afraid of the bad news?" Rosenthal said. "I don't know."
Rosenthal said a colleague at another college polled a percentage of students in a similar way and also found that people surveyed through random sampling techniques "really are very severe critics."
However, Langan said she wouldn't expect a similar survey at Princeton to produce results as bad as Harvard's.
"I really would find that unexpected," she said.
Still, other schools' health officials said problems that the Harvard survey highlighted, such as long delays and unfamiliarity with health offerings, were not unheard of at their schools, either.
Princeton University Health Services makes an effort to increase communication with students through its "Gratitude and Gripe Day," where members of the organization's student advisory board "sit in the student center and solicit commentary from our student patients," Langan said.
