However, making both faculty and students aware of this difference may providesubstantial advantages in both the educational, and future career, environments. The present study is recognized as being very preliminary. For example, the students in this particularuniversity are selected through a relatively rigorous admission process, likely resulting in a number of impacts onthe mindset of the incoming student.
