Today's topic is "31% of UK Students Say University Not Good Value"

A survey has found that 31% of UK students believe that their university courses are poor or very poor value, up from 29% the year before. However, that number is not as high as the 34% who thought university was poor value in 2017.

There are about 1.8 million undergraduate students in UK universities, and the Student Academic Experience Survey was taken by about 10,000 of them.

The survey also found that 39% of students were happy with the value of their courses, down from 41% the year before. And 64% said they would not change their school or course if they had a second chance — the same as the year before.

Students in Scotland felt they got the best value for their money, with 57% agreeing that university was good value, although this was down from 63% the year before.

However, Scottish students can get their first university degree for free — and students from other parts of the UK have to pay if they go there just for university. For students in other parts of the UK, university costs up to $11,600 per year.

Only 11% of students agreed that they had "life satisfaction," and just 14% said they were happy. Eighty-four percent of students agreed that universities should be able to contact their parents if there were serious concerns about a student's mental health.
