The table illustrates the level of satisfaction of undergraduate and postgraduate students with three different facilities, namely study facilities in the bedroom, university cafeteria, and social facilities at a UK university, based on a survey conducted in 2004.
Overall, undergraduate students were more satisfied with most facilities at the university, while the percentage of these students who were quite satisfied was lower than that of postgraduate students. An opposite trend can be seen in social facilities, where postgraduate students showed higher levels of satisfaction with these types of amenities.
Regarding study facilities in the bedroom, 67% of undergraduate students felt very satisfied, while that of postgraduate students stood at 65%. However, the level of dissatisfaction was considerably higher in undergraduate students, with 26%, whereas postgraduate students accounted for only 15%. The figures for undergraduate and postgraduate students who were quite satisfied were 17% and 20%, respectively.
There was a similar trend in the university cafeteria, with the percentage of undergraduate students who were very satisfied being higher, while a smaller proportion were quite satisfied. However, this group of students showed remarkably lower levels of dissatisfaction, accounting for only 3%.
In contrast, the proportion of very satisfied postgraduate students with social facilities was 80%, which was nearly double that of undergraduate students, while the figure for dissatisfied undergraduate students was 30%, which was six times as high as that of postgraduate students.
