We additionally collected qualitative answers to a question investigating belongingness in the College of Chemistry (Table ). Responses draw from all populations across both the initial and final surveys, with individual responses available in the supplementary information (Table ). The five responses highlighted here were chosen to reflect a variety of reasons why respondents felt they did or did not belong, as well as to point out trends that were observed. Many respondents used words like "accepted", "fit-in", or "like-minded" to describe instances where they felt high belongingness, and some specified that these applied only within the sphere of other transfer students or their previous college. Some respondents that felt low belongingness mentioned feeling tested by their peers or that they didn't belong. Interestingly, several respondents clarified that while they didn't currently feel a high sense of belonging in the College of Chemistry, they were hopeful that they one day would.
