    Residential and Business Services Friday, 20 December 2019 Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20 John Burnet Hall Introduction: This report is based on the responses collected from the November 2019 Student Accommodation Survey. In analysing the results, the ‘not applicable’ responses were removed to provide an accurate breakdown of responses. To ensure easy analysis of information in the bar and pie charts, the very satisfied and satisfied responses have been combined to represent overall satisfaction. Likewise, the dissatisfied and strongly dissatisfied responses have been combined to represent overall dissatisfaction. The individual breakdown of responses has been preserved in the separate survey reports. Average results have been calculated for each category and are presented alongside the individual responses to the category questions for ease of reference. The survey results showed a notable difference in International student satisfaction compared to Home/EU student satisfaction, therefore the overall satisfaction and catering satisfaction categories are broken down further and also presented by Home/EU and International satisfaction.
