This chart illustrates factors that students in UK cared about when they chose a school from 1982 to 2002. According the chart, what students were concerned about the most was whether courses and degrees were suitable for them. This consideration made up 40% in 1982 and was still the most significant factor for students even though dropped to 34% in 2002.
The reputation of the school also took a quarter of a percentage in 2002. Differently, students in 1982 didn't give it as much importance as it was only at 5% then. Likewise, the same case happened in the cost of the school. In 2002, only a few students considered tuition as a factor while 28% of them did in 1982. As evident in the picture, some school criteria such as location and admission remained roughly constant, from 19% to 16% and 3% to 2% respectively.
As time goes by, school life such as sport facilities, social activities and amenities almost tripled from 5% to 18%. Overall, it’s plainly evident that reputation and facilities became increasingly important considerations for college students in the UK, while costs were of less concern.
