The pie chart below shows the main reasons why students chose to study at a particular UK university in 1987 and in 2007. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparison where relevant
The given pie charts gives information about five main reasons for students’ choice of a British university in 1987 and 2007. Overall, it is clear that the largest proportion of students opted for the school for its courses. While the concern about the distance between parents’ house and the school was seen as the least popular reason in 1987, students paid the least attention to sports and social activities when applying for the school in 2007.
Students were more likely to put training programs, teaching quality, and extra-curricular activities into consideration. After 20 years, there was a minimal increase in the percentage of students enrolling at the university
due to the two former criteria, from 35% to 37% and from 15% to 18%, respectively. However, 10% of students reached the decision based on the proximity between their parental houses and the university in 1987. This figure
then grew twofold to 22% two decades later.
In contrast, the quality of resources and extracurricular activities were less prioritized by students after 20 years. Whilst a 2% decrease was witnessed in the proportion of those caring about teaching quality, other reasons were given by only 6% of students in 2007, one-third the 1987 figure.
