STUDENT QUESTIONNAIRE This questionnaire is designed to help you identify your reasons for electing to pursue a NOLS course, while providing us with an opportunity to get to know you better. What has been your greatest success in the last six months? A NOLS course is very physically demanding. Describe your regular physical activities or sports, including what types of exercise you do, how often and for how long. If you do not exercise regularly, tell us how you plan to prepare for your course. A NOLS course requires that all participants commit physically, mentally, and emotionally to the success of the expedition. Identify an activity to which you have made a major commitment. Describe how you demonstrated that commitment.
