The pie charts illustrate data about the proportions of UK students satisfied with different university facilities in 2007. Overall, it can be seen that while undergraduates were happier with school facilities and not satisfied with a university cafeteria, postgraduates’ views were completely opposite. They highlighted a university cafeteria as the most satisfactory university element and school facilities as the least ones.
The proportional distribution for postgraduates and undergraduates happy with school rooms was quite similar. Both groups were satisfied with them, 62% and 63% respectively. Likewise, there was a 1% difference between undergraduates (13%) and postgraduates (14%) who were quite satisfied with school rooms, whilst students who didn’t like them at all accounted for 25% and 23% in turn.
73% of postgraduates were happy with a university cafeteria, making it the most enjoyed amenity for them. On the contrary, this facility was the least favorable for the undergraduates with 52%. The number of undergraduates quite satisfied and not satisfied with the cafeteria was almost the same (22% and 26%). There were 16% of postgraduates who enjoyed the cafeteria and 11% who didn’t like this facility.
School facilities were the most liked amenity for undergraduates and accounted for 85% very satisfied students, while half as many postgraduates enjoyed them (43%). The proportion of students who were not satisfied differed notably, at 25% of undergraduates compared to just 1% of postgraduates. In contrast, the figure for those who were quite satisfied was 14% among undergraduates, which was half the corresponding proportion for postgraduates (33%).
