This is an example of an AI survey about the orientation experience, designed for high school freshman students—see and try the example for yourself.

Creating effective high school freshman student orientation experience surveys is tough: generic forms rarely dig deep, and you’re left with shallow answers.

At Specific, we make AI-powered conversational surveys that help teams, teachers, and researchers collect better, richer student insights in less time—all through tools that are simple to try and use.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for high school freshman students

When you want real feedback about the orientation experience, basic survey forms can fall flat. Students may skip open-ended questions or give generic replies that don’t tell you much. Conversational surveys change this dynamic by turning the survey process into a chat—students feel like they’re talking to someone who genuinely cares, not just ticking boxes.

Why does this matter for high school freshman students? For starters, the younger generation is already hyper-familiar with AI tools—93% of students across the U.S. have used AI at least once for school-related purposes. That means conversational, AI-driven surveys feel natural and instantly familiar to them [1].

Traditional survey builders involve endless forms and endless manual tweaking. AI survey generators do it better, faster—so you can focus less on form design and more on understanding your students.

Why use AI for high school freshman student surveys?

• Most students (86%) agree generative AI is “a big deal” and 77% think it’ll change their lives [3]. So, putting surveys in a chat format that uses AI matches the tools they're already using.

• AI survey examples make feedback conversational and keep students engaged; this means more honest, thoughtful responses about their real orientation experience.

• Specific is built to make this easy: from survey design to question flow to seamless analysis, everything is crafted to deliver best-in-class conversational survey experiences. All you do is start the process, and the AI survey builder takes care of the rest.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

One thing that makes a Specific conversational survey stand out? Automatic follow-up questions. AI listens to each student’s answer and instantly asks for details—just like a sharp interviewer would do. This real-time probing doesn’t just save time (no more email chains chasing after clarification), it captures rich context on the spot.

Here’s what happens if you skip follow-ups:

• Student: “It was fine.”

• AI follow-up: “What was one part of the orientation experience you thought could have gone better?”

Without the extra nudge, you might never know if “fine” signals anxiety, boredom, or something more specific. Instead, AI follow-ups unlock real stories and insights that help educators improve orientation programs fast.

We see this working in our data: 61% of students believe AI offers instant clarification and feedback—cutting through confusion, and letting students feel heard even in a busy setting [1].

With Specific, surveys don't feel like homework—they feel like a chat.

Effortless delivery and student-friendly channels

Distributing your survey is often the trickiest part—but not here. We offer two flexible methods, so you can reach high school freshman students the way that works best for orientation experience feedback:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect if you want to share a link over email, a class portal, or social channels. It’s the quickest way to reach students who may not be logged into a specific school app.

• In-product surveys: Best for embedding the survey inside a school portal, learning management system, or student intranet—ensuring students see and complete the survey as part of their online routine.

For orientation feedback, we find sharable landing page surveys often make the most sense; you blast the link out to all incoming freshmen and get results fast, no technical hurdles.
