Revealed: The universities offering the best student experience
Basically it’s who’s having more fun
The Times’ Good University Guide was released this weekend and has ranked universities according to how much fun they’re having. Student experience measures the percentage of positive responses that students gave according to the 2016 National Student Survey.
It includes all aspects of university life, including the academic and social, as well as welfare and support, and basically tells incoming first years how much fun they’ll have when they get here.
At the top of the table came St. Andrews with 91 per cent, Dundee in second place with 87.1 per cent and in third was Belfast on 87.3 per cent.
LSE came bottom with 73.1 per cent, followed by Norwich with 79.1 per cent and Edinburgh 82.4 per cent
