Students Value Modern Network Environments

The digital experience matters.

In a 2021 study by Juniper Networks, potential students were asked how digital experiences influence their college decision making.

The results show that an institution can achieve significant advantages by delivering an ideal digital experience to students. That shouldn’t be surprising as students today have never known a world without internet or digital mobility!

That’s why an astounding 95% of surveyed consumers preferred to attend schools and public places that offer connected experiences over institutions that do not.³

Students were asked about what digital experiences they valued:

40-45%

Were more likely to congregate in public places that offer wireless conveniences for their mobile devices.

45%

Preferred the ability to automatically check-in without stopping at a check-in desk.

41%

Highly valued the ability to use contactless payment services at the register⁴
