what sample size do you need before its big enough to be statistically significant in this context of surveys?

Open to other thoughts, but generally it doesn’t matter. Obviously, more is better if taken from a diverse pool - but when the sample is more concentrated to one university, it’s hard to see much validity no matter how many you have.

For a system with 175 million users, assuming you somehow can get the survey of of a good distribution (not just students in US) you start at 2000-3000 datapoints and go up if you want above 95% confidence.
