This report summarises the findings of a research project undertaken in 2024 that explores the views of undergraduates and graduates who consider that with hindsight they would make a different choice about their higher education as to whether, what, and where to study. Drawing on the annual "Student Academic Experience Survey" (SAES) in the United Kingdom (UK), along with two new surveys--one of UK undergraduates and the other of UK graduates--the research investigates the reasons for their views, what they wished they had done, what the consequences of their decisions had been for them, and what if anything would have enabled them to make a better decision or ensured a better outcome. Respondents were also asked whether they had considered changing course or institution during their studies, and if so what might have assisted them in doing this. These same questions were discussed in focus groups and interviews. Of the undergraduates surveyed, a substantial majority (65%) said that knowing what they know now they would make the same decision again. This finding confirms that a large majority of students are happy with their choices in terms of going to higher education, what to study, and where to study. Overall findings from this research study suggest that there is a compelling case for factoring in the views of undergraduates and graduates based on their post-graduation experience into school and college advice and guidance in a more granular and systematic way.
