Data Package Description
The multiwave file of the Student Survey contains data from all 13 surveys from 1982 to 2016 on the study situation and student orientations. All variables that were present in at least two surveys were included, so that time series from 2 to 13 measurement points are available (ca. 1205 variables). The variable numbers are aligned in all files, so that the same number always defines the same variable in each survey.
