The campus is beautiful, with plenty of places to study, eat and chill with friends. The halls are close by and spread across the city depending on what you prefer. It could be improved by freshers learning more about what the uni has to offer, a lot of people don’t realise half the stuff the Union/student services are able to do until their final year!

The course tries to have in-person teaching wherever possible. There is a medium amount of contact with lecturers and you’re always able to schedule more time with them, or the PG teaching assistants. Internships and work placements have to be sought out, so it takes a motivated individual to make the most of these opportunities.

Safety is as you would expect from a large city, the Union does what it can to protect students on night’s out. It’s a predominantly white, middle class institution although there are a diverse group of societies which people can join to find likeminded individuals. Overall, safety is a priority for students and staff alike which is reassuring.

It was good value for money and close by to main campus. Wifi had good enough speeds to stream things on my laptop which I liked. The facilities were basic but these have since been upgraded in the last year which is good for incoming students.

I have loved University and think that it has set me up perfectly for the rest of my life. I think the knowledge I have gained on my course has been very relevant to things I am interested in, and has opened my eyes to an area that I thought I knew about a lot but have found out I don't.

The facilities are very good. Before choosing Southampton I looked at lots of Universities and would defiantly rate the ones here within the top 3.

There is lots of support available for personal issues and it is very well advertised. There is lots of emails which Go around, especially around exam time, making everyone aware of support if they need it. For my course the academic support is exceptional. We are provided with a tutor for first and second year, and in third year our dissertation tutor is both. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful so if I knew I needed help in a particular area of the course I would not worry about seeing anyone.

I like the student union and think that they are good at advertising everything that they participate in. I am part of a sports team and thoroughly enjoy this and how we as a team are able to mix with other sports for charity events etc.

Southampton is a great place to be a student because of how it is set out. The university is in its own area, campus, but is well within walking distance to the city centre, although a bus is easier. In second and in my final year I have lived within a 10 minute walk to the city centre and about a 25 minute walk to university and this has been perfect for balancing life and university. Southampton has lots to offer itself but is a practical location to reach other places including London.

There are so many clubs and societies available at the university. I think as well the teams etc have a good mentality and are not like other universities which have lots of peer pressure. we focus a lot on things such as mental health, and getting women into sport which I think are very important for making sure everyone feels welcome.

I like how small the course is as it means we form great relationships with lecturers. I also enjoy the variety in what is taught, and the ability to be very selective in that we only have 1 compulsory module a semester. I wish that the University as a whole was more aware of our course, as often it can feel like we are forgotten about when we get put into small classrooms.

we have lots of careers sessions as part of our course, as well as a careers service that is always available. The careers center are constantly sending out emails to make us aware of schemes that the university participate in.
