Survey example: Student survey about international student support

This is an example of an AI survey about international student support—a conversational survey created for students. You can see and try the example instantly to experience how it works and how modern, conversational feedback feels.

Creating effective international student support surveys is tough. Most traditional surveys struggle to capture context or go deep enough to reveal what students actually need.

At Specific, we specialize in AI-powered conversational surveys that gather richer insights and make feedback meaningful for you and your team.

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

Surveying students about international support is tricky. You want honest answers, rich context, and real stories—something a rigid form rarely delivers. Traditional surveys often ask fixed questions, miss out on nuances, and get low engagement.

AI survey generators change this. Instead of static forms, you get a natural chat that adapts to every response, asking better follow-ups and keeping students engaged. That means higher completion rates and deeper insights. In fact, AI-powered surveys now achieve completion rates of 70–90% compared to the 10–30% of traditional methods, thanks to their ability to tailor the conversation and keep respondents engaged throughout.

If you want actionable feedback about international student support, making the survey engaging is everything. With AI survey examples from Specific, you can go from idea to live survey in minutes—no forms, no coding, just a natural chat interface students already know.

Why use AI for student surveys?

• Adapts in real time to student responses—more probing, less drop-off.

• Feels like a friendly conversation instead of an intimidating “test”.

• Uncovers hidden issues like struggles with cost of living and access to support, topics global research has flagged as critical for international students. [3]

• Makes feedback easier to analyze using built-in AI.

Specific delivers the best-in-class user experience in conversational surveys, making the entire process simple, engaging, and effective for both creators and participants.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The real power of conversational surveys is the ability to go deeper—automatically. Specific uses AI to generate smart follow-up questions based on every student’s reply and context, right in the moment. Imagine trying to follow up with respondents over email whenever a survey answer is unclear—nobody has the time or resources for that. Now, AI handles all of it instantly.

Here’s how it goes if you don’t use smart follow-ups:

• Student: “I had trouble when I first got here.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you share more about what challenges you faced on arrival—housing, language, or something else?”

Without a follow-up, you’re stuck guessing—did they mean housing issues, social isolation, or something else? If you want to see this feature in action, try generating a survey yourself. It’s a new standard for student surveys, and you can read more about automatic follow-up questions here.

These natural follow-ups are what make conversational surveys actually feel like conversations—not just another form. This is why students open up and share more detail, giving you better data and insights every time.

Easy editing, like magic

Edit your AI survey as easily as sending a chat. Just say what you want to change or add, and Specific’s AI handles the rest, drawing on expert-level knowledge of best practices. You never have to touch a form builder or worry about question order. Updates happen in seconds—add, remove, or reword questions at any time.

Ways to deliver your student international support survey

You can reach students where they are most likely to respond, using flexible delivery methods suited for different situations:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Send a direct link to an AI-powered survey hosted on its own landing page. This works especially well for student groups, email lists, or sharing with prospective international students—no logins required, ready to go in seconds.

• In-product surveys: Embed the conversational survey directly into your student portal, app, or web platform. Perfect timing for students who are currently using university services or navigating support features, so you capture feedback while the experience is fresh.

You can even combine both methods for the widest reach, tailoring your distribution strategy to meet international students wherever they are. Want to see survey creation options for other topics? Visit the AI survey generator to start from scratch.
