A new report published by HEPI and London Higher, Living and Learning in London: What the HEPI / Advance HE Student Academic Experience Survey tells us about life in the capital (HEPI Report 158),shows students in London are more likely than those in all other English regions to say their experience has exceeded their expectations. London students are also among the happiest, with more rating their happiness as 9 or 10 out of a maximum of 10 than in any other part of the UK.
The report provides a summary of what it is like to study in one of London’s many higher education institutions, including how different aspects of student life affect the various demographic groups in the UK’s diverse capital city. The Report busts some common misconceptions about studying in London and shows the real experience that students have when studying there.
As well as being more likely than those in other English regions to say their experience has exceeded their expectations, London students are joint most likely (with students in the North-West) to say they would choose the same course and institution again and they are more likely than students anywhere else in the UK to say they are very satisfied with their lives.
