The figure for location showed a similar pattern, modestly falling from 19% to 16%. There had a sharp decline in costs, only at 5% in 2002 compared with nearly 30% in 1980.
The amount for the remaining three factors presented a different pattern. The percentage of amenities, social activities and sports facilities noticeably grew to 18% in 2002, over three times more than just 5% in 1980. The proportion of students who paid attention to the reputation of the institution was relatively low, at 5% in 1980, but it saw a significant fivefold rise to 25% in 2002. It virtually remained unchanged in admission criteria in these two years.
Overall, suitable courses and degrees were by far the most important factors for students considered. The percentage of amenities, social activities and sports facilities and reputation of the institution increased markedly, while the figure for the remaining three factors showed opposing trends.
