Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers are estimated based on surveys of a sample of the university population and should not be considered as exact data.
Indeed, there are discrepancies between this credit and PRE 5 due to the availability of data from only one of the three campuses, specifically the Villa campus, which is the first and largest. Therefore, the difference in numbers arises because only the university community from this campus is being evaluated for this item
