not surprising really, asking from students who are mostly looking for cheap pubs, discos, gyms & girls/boys/glbt. if the uni has those, then you'll be higher up on the satisfaction list.

Well as a Buckingham alumni, I can say that the recreational facilities are somewhat limited compared to other universities on the list.

But the quality of teaching and academic facility is something I really appreciate there. I guess that factor might explain Buckingham's position on the list.

My brother was from Buckingham.......and because of Buckingham, he went on to Cambridge.

He maintains that the university that I am now is far better than the first universities that he and my sis went............
