4.1 DEMOGRAPHICS
The overall response rate to the CLAN survey was 50% with a sample of
3,259 full time undergraduate students participating from across the third
level sector. The sample represented 62% female and 38% male students
(Table 1).  The average age of the students sampled was 21 years. The age
distribution of the respondents was similar between males and females with
65% under 21 years, 28% aged 21 to 24 years and the remaining 7% were
25 years and over. Of the total sample, 33% were in first year, 30% were in
second year and 37% were in third year or higher.  However, there was a
difference in gender distribution across years with a higher representation of
first year male and third year female undergraduate students. Education of
parents had a similar spread between males and females.
