The survey was conducted without any regional bias and the ratio of men to women respondents was roughly 1 to 1. Respondents were asked to list up to six universities, three from anywhere in the country and three from the area in which they lived or the surrounding region. The answers were then scored in order of listing, with 3 points awarded for the first, 2 for the second, and 1 for the third.
