Instructions
The  research,  commissioned  by  HEDQF,  asked  1,000  students  from  UK  universities  for  their  views  on  the  quality  of  their  university  campus  and  sheds  new  light  on  how  students  make  decisions  as  they  go  through  the  application  process.  When  asked  what  the  most  important  factors  were  when  deciding  where  to  study,  76%  of  students    campus  facilities  as  either  'quite'  or  'very'  important,  with  only  8%  saying  it  was  'not  very'  or  'not  at  all'  important  in  their  choice.  This  was  the  fourth  most  important  factor  after  course,  location  and  reputation.  Estate  quality  increases  in  importance  once  a  student  has  chosen  a  university,  with  86%  of  students  saying  that  it  is  'quite'  or  'very'  important  in  their  first  year  of  studies.  However,  the  importance  students    to  estates  decreases  to  79%  for  third  years  students.  The  research  also  highlighted  how  factors  such  as  demographics,  region  and  type  of  university    have  an  impact  on  how  students  view  the  university  buildings.  Students  in  Russell  Group  universities  are  much  more  likely  to  describe  their  buildings  as  'inspiring',  closely  followed  by  students  in  newer  universities  such  as  Lincoln,  Gloucestershire  and  Ravensbourne  College.  This  pattern  was  repeated  when  students  were  asked  to  rate  the  overall  quality  and  design  of  estate,  with  Russell  Group  students,  and  students  from  newer  universities,  more  likely  to  rate  the  estates  as  excellent.    data  shows  capital  expenditure  on  estates  has  been  the  highest  amongst  the  Russell  Group  universities  during  2001-2011.  When  asked  where  they  would  invest  money  in  their  universities,  the  top  three  areas  in  order  of    were:  smaller  class  sizes,  bursaries  for  poorer  students  and  new  buildings  and  facilities.
