The evaluation of the university experience of students is an increasingly frequent field of analysis
among the academic community, as they represent one of the most important groups in universities
and it is essential to know their opinion and satisfaction with the different services and
resources that the university institution makes available to them. In this sense, the two objectives
of the study were the following: 1) To analyse the undergraduate university experience of the
different groups of students (graduates, students, drop-outs). 2) To identify which aspects of the
academic training received predict each of the student groups. To this end, a study was carried
out specifically aimed at undergraduate education students at the University of Granada (Spain),
distinguishing between graduates, students, and those who had dropped out of their studies. A
total of 292 students participated (82 female and 210 male), of whom 123 were graduates, 98
were still students and 71 were drop-outs. After the application of three questionnaires, it was
found that the three aforementioned groups of participants coincided in particularly valuing
characteristic dimensions of the formal teaching-learning scenario in the university experience. In
addition, the linear regression analysis carried out identified the personalised attention factor as
having the highest predictive value as regards student type. Thus, the results of the study point to
an assessment of academic training focused on the need on the part of all three groups of participants
for teacher support and individualised guidance. The study may be useful in providing
universities with new data to help improve the teaching performance of Education degree
teaching staff concerning students; for example, by encouraging their participation in tutorial
action programmes.
