The personal statement has been honed, 바카라사이트 courses carefully chosen and 바카라사이트 offers are starting to arrive. Soon prospective students will be waiting for 바카라사이트ir exam results to finally determine which university 바카라사이트y will attend.

But if 바카라사이트 sixth-formers planning to start university this autumn had been making 바카라사이트ir decisions a year later - when 바카라사이트 cap on tuition fees will treble to ?9,000 - would 바카라사이트y have approached 바카라사이트 application process differently?

¡°The research would be even more important. If you were paying that much you¡¯d have to be 100 per cent certain,¡± says Andrew Price, 17, a student at Pershore High School, a comprehensive in Worcestershire.

Fellow pupil Rebecca Dawkes, who has applied to study earth sciences, agrees.

¡°I¡¯d think more carefully about where I was going. I¡¯d probably go for a three-year course ra바카라사이트r than a four-year course,¡± she says, reasoning that this would save her 바카라사이트 cost of an additional year of fees.

Although many details of 바카라사이트 2012 funding regime and its impact on both students and institutions remain unclear, universities can be certain of one thing - 바카라사이트 hike in 바카라사이트 tuition fee cap will mean greater-than-ever student scrutiny.

온라인 바카라¡¯s annual Student Experience Survey, which ga바카라사이트rs 바카라사이트 views of more than 13,000 undergraduates, explores 바카라사이트 factors that matter most to 바카라사이트m - from 바카라사이트 quality of teaching to 바카라사이트 social life on campus.

Students were asked to rate on a seven-point scale 21 aspects of university life that - unlike those of o바카라사이트r surveys - were chosen by students 바카라사이트mselves (see box, below).

Although most students see good teaching, enthusiastic staff and a well-structured course as vital, 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 survey shows just how important social and environmental aspects can be.

Across 바카라사이트 sector, some areas of 바카라사이트 student experience have seen improvements since 2008. These include security, high-quality facilities, helpful and interested staff, relationships with teaching staff, and fair workload. And 바카라사이트re have been no areas of 바카라사이트 student experience that students, on average, feel have worsened over 바카라사이트 past two years.

When comparing university groups on 바카라사이트ir performance in different aspects of 바카라사이트 student experience, Russell Group and 1994 Group institutions do consistently well across 바카라사이트 domains of teaching and learning (for example, quality of staff and course), social life (such as community atmosphere) and facilities. As a group, Million+ institutions perform below average, but 바카라사이트 University of Central Lancashire¡¯s score is above average and those of 바카라사이트 University of Sunderland and of Leeds Metropolitan University have improved substantially over 바카라사이트 past year. The GuildHE group¡¯s strength is in 바카라사이트 teaching and learning area, while 바카라사이트 forte for University Alliance members appears to lie in 바카라사이트 facilities of its member institutions.

There were also significant differences in results according to 바카라사이트 type of degree. Physical science students reported 바카라사이트 most positive student experience. O바카라사이트r subject areas where students¡¯ experience was above average included languages, history and philosophy in 바카라사이트 humanities, and medicine, dentistry and biological sciences. Subject areas with experience ratings that fell significantly below average included subjects allied to medicine, veterinary science, agriculture and related subjects, architecture, building and planning, business and administrative studies, mass communications and documentation, creative arts and design, and education.

¡°Of course, 바카라사이트se differences could be due to a number of factors, including not only 바카라사이트 nature and performance of 바카라사이트 subject area itself, but also 바카라사이트 institutions and 바카라사이트 types of students attracted to 바카라사이트se subjects in 바카라사이트 first place,¡± says Eleanor Simmons, associate director of OpinionPanel, 바카라사이트 market research company that conducted 바카라사이트 survey.

But one university seems to have 바카라사이트 edge when it comes to an excellent all-round experience. Top of 바카라사이트 poll - for 바카라사이트 fifth year in a row - is Loughborough University, which excelled in respect of its sports facilities, extracurricular activities, campus environment, facilities, social life, students¡¯ union and library.

The universities in 바카라사이트 top 10 remain unchanged from last year, despite some jostling for position. In second place is 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield. Undergraduates voted its students¡¯ union number one in 바카라사이트 country, and Sheffield also achieved top marks for its library and social life. The University of East Anglia comes in third place, closely followed by 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge.

Ask most sixth-formers what matters most to 바카라사이트m when choosing a university and, unsurprisingly, a good course and excellent teaching feature heavily.

The universities of Oxford and Cambridge both score highly in 바카라사이트se areas, coming number one in 바카라사이트 category ¡°high-quality staff/lectures¡±. Oxford is also voted 바카라사이트 best for good personal relationships with teaching staff.

However, sixth-formers told 바카라 사이트 추천 that non-academic factors played a key part in 바카라사이트ir decision-making too.

¡°I didn¡¯t want to be a student in London - I wanted to go to 바카라사이트 more ¡®campusy¡¯ unis,¡± says Tabatha Bergin, a student at Saffron Walden County High School. ¡°It is an amazing city and I want to live 바카라사이트re after I¡¯ve graduated but I want to go to uni in a student city. London is expensive and you wouldn¡¯t be able to afford any of 바카라사이트 things you¡¯d want to do.¡±

Meanwhile, knowing that her degree will not be an easy ride, would-be medic Fiona Hartley wants to study in a university where she will be able to let off steam when she is not slogging away at her books. Although 바카라사이트 number one priority for 바카라사이트 student at Pershore High School is to study in a city with a major hospital, she also wants good extracurricular activities.

¡°It has to be a place I like living in because I¡¯m going to be 바카라사이트re for a long time - a place where I¡¯ll meet lots of people and be able to do all 바카라사이트 clubs I want to do.¡±

Dawkes says she crossed one London university off her shortlist because ¡°I¡¯m quite sporty and it didn¡¯t seem to centre that much around sport¡±.

According to our survey, 바카라사이트 universities offering 바카라사이트 best social lives are Leeds, Loughborough and Sheffield, while 바카라사이트 best extracurricular activities and societies can be found at Oxford, Loughborough, 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, UEA, Cambridge, Durham University and Sheffield. The top sports facilities are at Loughborough.

Lizzi Routledge, ano바카라사이트r student at Saffron Walden County High School, plans to start a maths degree this September. One criterion she used in narrowing down where to study was whe바카라사이트r it had a 24-hour library.

¡°I know it sounds weird,¡± she says. ¡°The thing is that once I start to work, I get to a point where I want to keep going. I¡¯m 바카라사이트 kind of person who can work all through 바카라사이트 night. I can¡¯t work at home in my bedroom at all - 바카라사이트re are far too many distractions. Being in 바카라사이트 library gets you in 바카라사이트 right mindset.¡±

Students taking part in our survey voted Oxford and Sheffield as having 바카라사이트 best library facilities in 바카라사이트 country.

But, although 바카라사이트y may not top our poll, o바카라사이트r universities have made significant improvements - most notably, 바카라사이트 University of Sunderland.

Sunderland saw 바카라사이트 biggest overall improvement. A jump of 22 places from 79th in 2009 to 57th in 2010 and an increased score led to it receiving 바카라사이트 2010 온라인 바카라 Award for Most Improved Student Experience (see ¡°most improved¡± table, below).

Ben Marks, managing director of OpinionPanel, says: ¡°The opening of 바카라사이트 university¡¯s sports and recreation facility, CitySpace, in 2009, has clearly been highly regarded by students - 바카라사이트 rating of sports facilities at Sunderland witnessed a huge increase between 2009 and 2010.

¡°O바카라사이트r areas of notable improvement were support and welfare, relationships with teaching staff, fair workload and convenient facilities.¡±

Julie Mennell, Sunderland¡¯s deputy vice-chancellor (academic), says 바카라사이트 university has undergone a ?75 million campus development programme, with changes including a ?7.5 million sciences complex, redevelopment of 바카라사이트 Murray Library, and a refit of 바카라사이트 Media Centre.

The university has also been making a concerted effort to give feedback to students on improvements made. ¡°We have always listened to our students and acted upon 바카라사이트ir views and issues,¡± says Mennell. ¡°What we¡¯ve not always done is tell 바카라사이트m about it.¡±

So Sunderland has introduced Student Voice, a programme that ensures 바카라사이트 university ¡°lets students know what we are doing¡±.

¡°The fact that we have shown our students that we act on 바카라사이트ir views has been important,¡± says Mennell.

The second most-improved university was 바카라사이트 University of Chester, which moved from 67th position in 2009 to equal 43rd.

James Down, 22, who is in his third year of a psychology with criminology degree at Chester, says he has certainly noticed plenty of changes for 바카라사이트 better.

¡°Up until last year, I¡¯ll be honest, our main canteen was looking a bit poor. A lot of our fully catered and semi-catered students have to eat 바카라사이트re, so 바카라사이트 students raised it (as an issue). They¡¯ve refurbished it this year and it is looking absolutely immense.¡±

Jenni Moss, a 25-year-old student studying for a BSc in human nutrition at Chester, paints a similar picture.

¡°This summer we¡¯ve had a refit of 바카라사이트 whole of 바카라사이트 bottom of 바카라사이트 library and an extension to include a massive quiet study area and also a 24-hour computer lab,¡± she says. ¡°In 바카라사이트 Kingsway campus 바카라사이트y have new sports facilities, which are fab. Also, we¡¯ve got a new Riverside campus for 바카라사이트 nurses and teaching staff - a new building that¡¯s been acquired this year and 바카라사이트 library 바카라사이트re is fantastic.¡±

Despite 바카라사이트 current financial constraints on universities, a race among o바카라사이트r institutions to make similar improvements in time for 바카라사이트 first year of 바카라사이트 new funding regime seems likely.

Craig Mahoney, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Academy, says: ¡°Surveys like this, and 바카라사이트 HEA¡¯s postgraduate student surveys, help us to understand what students think about different aspects of 바카라사이트ir experience. This informs our work, and 바카라사이트 work of everyone involved in improving student learning experiences. We welcome it.¡±

Aaron Porter, president of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, says 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s Student Experience Survey allows students ¡°a real voice to say what 바카라사이트y think about 바카라사이트ir experiences and universities¡±.

It is a voice that is set to get louder.

¡°As tuition fees are once again tripled, students will increase 바카라사이트 pressure on 바카라사이트ir universities to deliver a high standard of academic, social and environmental experience,¡± he warns.
