Abstract	The present study is the first part of a longitudinal study following the progress of the first generation of Open University students through the university. It concentrates on the initial cohort of students, those entering in 1971. A comprehensive questionnaire was used to collect data, and covered in some detail the students' educational and occupational background, their work and leisure patterns, and their plans. The report provides information on the characteristics of adult students, the problems of independent learning, and the problems of the educationally disadvantaged in Great Britain. (MSE)
