【正确答案】In the table we can see information about the numbers of students enrolling at Bristol University in the three years, 1928, 1958 and 2008. It compares the percentages of females and males, and also students from abroad and those from within 30 miles of the city. The most noticeable changes concern the overall growth of student numbers, from 218 in 1928 to 6,377 in 2008, and the proportions of local students, who constituted 50% of the total in 1928, but only 1-2% in 2008.
It is surprising to note that the percentage of female enrolments did not rise steadily, but dropped between 1928 and 1958. However, at the same time, the percentage of the student population who came from abroad remained almost unchanged between 1928 and 1958, being 5% and 6% respectively, but rose markedly after that, so that by 2008 foreign students represented 28% of the total.
