Data
The data are presented in Figs. 1-8. They include the number of respondents by University, the number of respondents by level, the number of respondents by age range, the number of projects the students have been involved in, the number of students interested in each of the ENACTUS (ENtrepreneurial ACTion US) project units [2], the respondents' willingness to start a venture, when the respondents desire to start their venture, and the industry the respondents desire to venture into respectively.
Students' involvement in ENACTUS requires that they be involved in entrepreneurially-related projects that challenge them to think entrepreneurially [2]; hence, Fig. 4 shows the number of projects the respondents have been involved in. Besides this, ENACTUS student teams are expected to function in any of six units in order to ensure properly balanced teams [1]. These six units include business development, community engagement, media, project implementation, research unit, and sponsorship and partnership. Fig. 5 shows the respondents' interests in these units. As part of exploring the impact of ENACTUS activities on the students, respondents were also questioned on how their involvement affects their decision to start their own ventures. The data on this are presented in Fig. 6. In addition, respondents were also asked when they would like to start their venture. Their responses are as presented in Fig. 7. Furthermore, the respondents where queried as to the sector or industry they would like to venture into. The data showing their responses are shown in Fig. 8.
