The pie charts below show the main reasons why students chose to study at a particular UK university in 1987 and 2007.

The given pie charts illustrate the information about the reasons that students chose before deciding to go to a UK university in the 2 years 1987 and 2007.

Overall, the majority of students there considered a suitable degree course to be the main factor, and there was a tendency of students wanting to be close to their parents after 20 years.

According to the charts, 35% of the students studied at the university because of suitable degree courses in 1987, higher than the percentage of those who went to the university because of quality resources and sports/social activities by 14% and 16%, respectively. Much lower than these figures, quality of teaching and being close to parents only accounted for 15% and 10% of the reasons in 1987.

However, it can also be observed that two decades later, the proportion of students who wanted to be close to their parents increased to almost a quarter, whereas that of those who sought sports and social activities dropped to as low as 6%. Meanwhile, in comparison to the 8% of students choosing the quality of teaching of the university, twice as many chose the quality of resource in 2007.
