Why Student Counseling Services surveys matter
If you’re not listening to Students about your Counseling Services, you’re missing real opportunities to support their mental well-being and drive meaningful improvements. We see from the research that the need is massive: 77.7% of Ethiopian university students reported a high need for help with stress and anxiety—a trend echoed globally. [1] Reliable Student feedback helps you:
Spot students at risk early, especially those struggling in silence
Break down stigma—in many regions, up to 71.3% of students equate seeking counseling with “having a mental problem”, leading many to avoid help. [2]
Understand what works (and what doesn’t) in your current Counseling Services
Shape new services or interventions grounded in real needs, not assumptions
The importance of Student recognition surveys and collecting high-quality Student feedback can’t be overstated. If you aren’t systematically gathering input, you risk missing silent struggles, feedback on access barriers, or simply the chance to let Students tell you what they need—on their own terms. For practical tips, see our guide on best questions for Student Counseling Services surveys.

Designing questions that drive real Student insights
The value of a survey is only as good as its questions. Vague, leading, or confusing prompts deliver ambiguous results. With Specific, the AI draws on expert knowledge to craft clear, actionable questions for your Student Counseling Services survey.
Bad question: “Are our counseling services good?” (Leads to “Yes/No” without depth.)
Good question: “Can you describe a recent experience you had with our counseling services? What went well, and what could have been better?”
The power of our AI is that it avoids common pitfalls—like double-barreled questions or language that triggers social desirability bias. The result? You get actionable Student feedback, not just polite answers.
Want to improve your own survey design? Here’s a quick tip: Always ask for specific examples or “what would help you most” rather than just ratings. This opens the door to valuable qualitative insights.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply
Specific takes your Student Counseling Services survey to the next level by asking smart, real-time follow-up questions. The AI listens like a human interviewer—probing for details, clarifying meaning, or gently nudging for more context if a reply is unclear. This leads to higher quality insights without endless back-and-forth emails.
Student: “The waiting time was long.”
AI follow-up: “Can you tell me how long you waited, and if this affected your experience with our counseling services?”
Student: “It was hard to find help.”
AI follow-up: “What specific challenges did you face when trying to access counseling support?”
If you don’t have this conversational follow-up, you end up with incomplete answers—forcing more work for you and frustration for Students. Try generating your own survey here and see just how naturally these follow-ups work. Curious about the technical details? Dive deeper into how automatic AI follow-up questions work.
This approach turns your survey into a conversation—a true conversational survey, making every Student feel heard and understood.
