World University Student Survey Dataset

Based on the analysis of student satisfaction rates across countries, the USA has the highest overall satisfaction rate at 49.4% (41 out of 83 students satisfied), while the Netherlands has the lowest at 35.29% (24 out of 68 students satisfied).

Students taking online classes rate campus facilities and teaching quality almost identically to those not taking online classes. The differences are negligible - only 0.02 points for campus facilities and no difference at all for teaching quality.

I've analyzed how student satisfaction changes throughout the five years of study. Two visualizations were created to show this trend: a line chart tracking the average satisfaction score from year 1 to year 5, and a stacked bar chart showing the distribution of satisfaction levels (from Very Dissatisfied to Very Satisfied) for each year.

There is essentially no relationship between campus facilities rating and teaching quality rating. The analysis shows a correlation coefficient of 0.03, which indicates a negligible positive relationship between these two factors.

The analysis examined gender distribution across different fields of study and program levels for 1,000 students. Two interactive visualizations were created: a grouped bar chart showing gender distribution across all 10 fields of study, and a sunburst chart providing a hierarchical view of how gender breaks down by program level and field of study together.

Overall satisfaction levels are quite similar across all three program levels, with Master's students showing slightly higher satisfaction rates compared to Bachelor's and PhD students. The differences are relatively modest, ranging from 41.1% to 43.6% for combined satisfied/very satisfied responses.

I've analyzed the relationship between tuition costs and satisfaction ratings across different fields of study. The visualization shows a scatter plot where each bubble represents a field of study, with its position indicating average tuition (horizontal axis) and satisfaction score (vertical axis), and bubble size showing the number of students in that field.

No, higher tuition does not correlate with better teaching quality ratings or overall satisfaction. The analysis reveals virtually no relationship between what students pay and how they rate their educational experience.

I've analyzed which countries offer the best value by comparing tuition costs against student satisfaction scores. The analysis created an interactive scatter plot showing the relationship between average tuition and satisfaction levels across all countries, with bubble sizes representing the number of students and colors indicating overall value scores.

The analysis reveals an unexpected pattern: students without scholarships actually report slightly higher satisfaction (3.10/5) compared to scholarship recipients (2.98/5). This 0.12-point difference suggests that scholarship status alone doesn't guarantee higher satisfaction levels. Retention appears similar between both groups, with average years of study nearly identical (2.98 for non-scholarship vs 2.96 for scholarship students).

The analysis successfully generated two visualizations showing how age varies across different program levels. A box plot displays the age distribution for each program level, revealing the median age, spread, and any outliers within each group. Additionally, an overlapping histogram compares the age distributions side-by-side, making it easy to see how the age ranges differ between program levels.

The analysis successfully identified the countries with the highest adoption rates of online classes. A bar chart was created showing the top 10 countries ranked by their online class adoption percentage, with color intensity indicating the adoption rate level.

I've analyzed scholarship award rates across different fields of study and created a visualization showing the distribution. The analysis includes a bar chart displaying the scholarship rates for each field, along with detailed statistics showing the number of students and scholarship recipients in each area.

The analysis successfully identified countries with the largest gaps between campus facilities ratings and overall satisfaction scores. A visualization was created showing the top 10 countries ranked by the size of this gap.

The analysis identified the top 15 country and field of study combinations with the highest teaching quality ratings. A visualization shows these combinations ranked by their average ratings, with the number of students included for each combination (minimum 3 students required for reliability).

No, students paying top 25% tuition are NOT significantly more satisfied than average. The analysis shows virtually identical satisfaction levels between the two groups.

The analysis reveals minimal tuition differences by gender within the same fields of study. Overall, female students pay slightly more on average ($26,592) compared to male students ($26,065), a difference of about $527 or roughly 2%.

The analysis examined 397 students reporting low satisfaction (Very Dissatisfied or Dissatisfied) out of 1,000 total students. Interestingly, the data shows that low satisfaction students have very similar ratings to high satisfaction students across key factors. Campus facilities ratings average 3.08 for dissatisfied students versus 2.98 for satisfied students, and teaching quality ratings are nearly identical at 2.95 versus 2.94.
