Aim: Provide a summary of the discussion of focus group 1 at the workshop on “Methodology for assessing the campus sustainability from the perspective of multi-level antifragility” held in June 2016 at Siauliai University (Lithuania), as well as reflection notes each of the participant wrote after the workshop. The paper shows the outcome of the process of interaction and reflections of the authors.   Design / Research methods: This article contains feedback based on the experience and ideas from third year students of sustainable business from the University of Siauliai (Lithuania). Discussion took place during the workshop in focus groups. Afterwards, a discussion took place among all participating students and lecturers. After the workshop, the authors wrote individual feedback notes. These are summarized in this paper.     Conclusions / findings: Students may provide limited information on university viability and sustainability of the university’s external environment due to lack of information on many indicators. Many indicators on which no information was available were considered to be irrelevant, being an example of the principle “what we do not see, does not count.”   Originality / value of the article: The article provides critical feedback on an innovative approach towards research on campus sustainability.
