This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of students’ activity characteristics and travel patterns based on the 2001 North Carolina State University Student Activity Travel Survey. Results show that undergraduate students and on-campus residents are engaged in more activities than graduate students and off-campus students. Graduate students are more likely to engage in class and work activity in the afternoon than in the morning. There is no statistically significant difference between student groups in terms of the proportion of students involved in a certain activity at a certain hour of the day. Instead, the types of activities are different across all 24 h of a day. The insights gained from this study will serve as the basis of an activity-based university travel demand model for North Carolina State University.
