Based on considerable commonality in issues facing college freshmen at various universities in the broader Arabian/Persian Gulf region, a parallel study at several universities would offer additional insights, both by increasing the study population size and by offering the potential for new, more quantifiable observations. While desirable, this is remarkably difficult to administer under the local higher education regulations. A longer period of exposure to the CQGs activity (more than 10 minutes per week) could have provided more insights into various facets effectiveness of the CQGs, but this was not practically feasible.
