But if even if they say I might not go and they still go, it's still useful to know that they were thinking they might not go.
That tells us something about uncertainty and nervousness about going and might make them more likely to drop out when they get there.
And that would be regrettable.
I mean, dropout rates are very low actually in the UK because in general young people are resilient and do everything they can to avoid dropping out.
But I I think we just need to watch those numbers very closely.
You know, people who are doubting the wisdom of going to university
Even though they are already on the university track.
And our separate survey, the Student Academic Experience Survey with Advance HE, suggests sixty percent of students after they've enrolled are happy with their course and their university.
But that does mean the forty percent.
are not willing to say they're happy with their course in the university and might have made a different set of choices if they were having their time again.
And I think when you set that aside, your numbers on people who've submitted a UCAS form and saying, well, I still might not go.
You know, that is a an area we all need to think a lot more about.
And I'm very proud actually that Happy is now working with Nicola Dandridge, now a visiting professor at the University of Bristol and her team.
To get under the skin of this question of regret.
Do too many people regret their choices?
How can we reduce regret?
What lessons are there for people working with people before they become students?
And so I know that you are committed to this agenda, we're committed to this agenda, and a lot of other people are committed to this agenda as well.
So I'm optimistic.
And of course, the other thing we haven't discussed, but is really important.
