Three universities in the South West of England – University of Bath, Falmouth University and University of Exeter – secure spots in the top 15, making the region the best on average for the university experience.

London universities cluster at the bottom of the ranking; it is the only region in the UK without a top 15 university, due to lower scores for accommodation and community atmosphere in the big city.
