Abstract: The decision of potential students towards a university depends on a great number of factors which are related both to the academic and also to several non-academic items. Of course the ideal case is the one in which knowledge and the obtained competences should be the main purpose for choosing a university. Despite of these, several discussions with students revealed also other aspects related to the financial, material or social issues, which play an important role in their decision. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a research about the satisfaction of students with several items in a university and to determine the correlations and the importance of these factors. The analysis of the results took place in two phases. In the first phase there were determined the interdependences among items with the help of the factor analysis in the SPSS program leading to 6 factors. Based on the 6 determined factors, a regression analysis was done in order to determine the coefficients of each of the factors and therefore their importance in the overall satisfaction of students.
