Survey example: Student survey about study abroad opportunities

This is an example of an AI survey about Study Abroad Opportunities for students. If you’re interested, see and try the example.

Creating a relevant survey about study abroad opportunities can be time-consuming, especially when you want thoughtful, honest responses from students. It’s easy to miss out on the nuance or ask questions that don’t spark genuine answers.

At Specific, we know how challenging it is to collect meaningful student feedback. All the tools featured in this article are part of Specific’s platform, reflecting our expertise in building engaging, conversational surveys.

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

Traditional student surveys about study abroad programs usually rely on static forms. They feel tedious to fill out and don’t let respondents elaborate when they want to share real insight. This leads to incomplete feedback—we’ve all experienced questionnaires that ask too much or too little, resulting in students abandoning them halfway.

With AI survey generators, the process feels less like a chore and more like a natural conversation. We’re seeing AI-powered conversational surveys reach completion rates of 70–90%, while traditional formats rarely hit above 30% completion. That’s a huge increase in quality engagement. [1]

Here’s a quick look at how AI survey examples differ:

Why use AI for student surveys?

• AI can tailor the conversation—clarifying, following up, or going deeper based on what the student shares.

• AI-generated surveys relieve you from manual setup; you focus on what you want to learn, not how to phrase questions.

• Faster setup and launch—students start sharing insights almost instantly.

Specific delivers a best-in-class user experience for conversational surveys, making feedback collection smooth and friendly for students as well as researchers. We have templates and flexible tools.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What makes conversational AI surveys stand out? It’s the ability to ask the right follow-up—at the right time. Specific’s AI taps into each student’s answer and asks clarifying or deeper questions, just like an expert interviewer would. That unlocks rich feedback without extra back-and-forth via email.

• Student: “I liked my time abroad, but it could've been better.”

• AI follow-up: “What specific aspects do you think could have been improved during your study abroad experience?”

If we stopped at the first answer, we’d be left with confusion. Follow-up questions help students clarify, share details, and explain what matters most—whether it’s academics, safety, cost, or personal growth. If you’ve ever had to do tedious survey follow-ups, you’ll instantly see the value: AI handles this in real time.

This experience, powered by Specific, invites you to try generating a survey and see how natural the conversation feels. To see exactly how the AI handles probing, read more about automatic AI follow-up questions.

Every time you ask a follow-up, you turn a boring form into a meaningful conversation. That’s the heart of a real conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

With Specific, editing your student survey isn’t a chore—you just chat with the AI survey editor and describe what you want to change. Whether it’s tweaking a question, rewording for clarity, or adding logic for certain responses, the AI does the hard work. Updates happen in seconds and always reflect expert-level knowledge—no need to dig through confusing settings or rewrite everything yourself. Try it with our AI survey generator or, if you want to make something entirely new, create a custom survey on any topic.

Flexible delivery via landing page or in-app survey

We know every team has unique channels for reaching students. With Specific, you can launch:

• Sharable landing page surveys—great for emailing to students, sharing in newsletters, or posting on social media. Perfect for gathering broad feedback on study abroad opportunities or reaching alumni networks.

• In-product surveys—ideal for integrating the survey directly in your school platform or app, capturing feedback as students research or enroll in programs. This approach boasts higher participation, since it meets students while they’re already engaged.

You can choose whichever method fits your audience and topic—or use both for maximum reach.

Instant AI survey analysis—no manual work

Once you’ve gathered responses, Specific uses AI survey analysis to summarize, detect trends, and help you extract actionable themes from your study abroad survey. You don’t need to spend hours sorting through spreadsheets or writing manual reports; you get real-time automated survey insights. With features like automatic topic detection and the ability to chat directly with the AI about results, turning raw student feedback into strategic insights is effortless.
