If you do plan on doing this, make sure you define any terms. With a question like Urban v. Rural, people might have significantly different definitions of both words. Even things like "city" have different definitions depending on what province you are in.

I live in the US, so perhaps generalizing the location a bit more would help
Fair point, we have users from other parts of the world
I'd be interested to see the results of something like this, as long as it's guaranteed to anonymize the data.
i think this is a great idea! i like the questions, as long as there's options for people who want to answer some but not all.
That's a good point :)
When might be a good time to run it? We usually did it at the start of December during exam season because students were procrastinating on Reddit.
Maybe this could be a good end of year thing?
That sounds good! Maybe I can draft up some questions then post here for feedback?
I'm still unsure about what platform to use. We've used Google Forms for r/UBC in the past, but there might be a better option that I don't know about. Do you have any preferences?
Sounds good to me. Yeah I'd probably do google forms too.
People don't like giving away their personal data anymore
None of the suggested questions are PII. No one who understands privacy should have any issues answering those questions.
