University of Southampton

Fantastic university, with a community spirit and the drive to constantly develop not only the campus but also the student experience!

Not only are the academic opportunities immense, there is a breadth on extra curricular activities with a great sense of developing a go-get-it attitude and entrepreneurialism.

Amazing great events learning about societies and getting local deals with local businesses. Great social events with the union with a freshers ball, love island party, and golf. Was good and loads of trails and tasters. Really good, cleaners abs checks . Really social provides loads of space. Great organisation and indoor and outdoor space Really good, great pubs and outdoor space. Library great and cafes there is so much on and space at the student union. Always somewhere to good loads of sports facilities Lectures are interesting and hands on development of lots of different skills. Lectures and tutors provide loads of support as well. Course is amazing wouldn't change Great city good nightlife l, walks and shops lots of individuals store lots to do

Living in halls has been great fun, having been put in a flat with 20 other people means there's ways something going on which is perfect for Year 1 especially fresher's events, plus the ovens always preheated.
Lectures themselves have been really informative and already have learnt a lot about biochemistry both in lectures and labs, lecturers are friendly and happy to answer questions regarding course content and the uni has a great mentoring system to pair you with older years studying the same course and gives you a pastoral tutor.

While studying at the uni of Southampton i have experienced many things, while going on course trips to london to watching fashion films in the uni cinema. The main benefit of the fashion marketing and management course is it is small enough to make life long friends while large enough to still get the uni experience! The staff are wonderful and feel more like friends than lecturers

Brilliant! Lots on offer both in the city of Southampton and on campus. Mayflower halls are the closest to luxe uni living you'll get and I'm glad to have lived there. Sports facilities 10/10, library and research facilities 10/10... Couldn't have chosen a better quality place to study. The tutors are genuinely thrilled about what they teach, that kind of enthusiasm is always contagious. Loads to do and everything is close enough to do it! Even in lockdown the ability to walk around the city and sit out by the docks in the peace of the evening has been beautiful.

Freshers week had been a week where I met the most incredible friends. I gained confidence within myself as I began to branch out and meet various types of people. I partied wearing my favourite ASOS outfits and lounged in them too. UOS accommodation was at the epicentre where it was midway from the campus and midway from town. This made it easy to go shopping and easy to get the bus to uni! The commute gave me time to take in the views and reflect on the day. The library bought a great deal of excitement! Level 1 was the place to be as some societies would congregate there. I feel so lucky to be part of india society and by second year I became a dance rep and was able to choreo my own dances. The SUSU team were so helpful at offering a hall and due to covid, made a great effort in making sure there were temperature machines and masks available to us as well as a saliva testing programme checkpoint. The course was challenging. But the help received from peers and lecturers was brilliant. A specific maths lecturer gave us sweets every time we got a question right and this enthusiasm was reciprocated by the class. The lectures have now moved online and this has been quite the shock, but has been set out with ease. City life was amazing!!! West quay shopping centre was the place to be, packed with wonderful Christmas treats in December. The lit up Xmas lights would always put me in the festive mood. I loved the atmosphere. Moreover, the historical components of Southampton were amazing and never failed to interest me.

The first few weeks have been a lot of fun, everyone at the university has been very welcoming which makes moving here a lot easier and less daunting. All the lecture have been very interesting and I look forward to the rest of the year.

University is honestly the best years of my life. I have learnt so much and have made such amazing friends

Medicine is a tough course which requires enormous quality study time. Having said that it is also a dynamic subject which opens many doors once you graduate. School of Medicine does everything they can to support you with your studies. They are very punctual and never give the impression that they are neglecting you in anyway. We were always told in advance when lectures were cancelled or rescheduled. In the beginning of the course we were given clear guidelines on how we should approach each subject and achieve high grades.

I have spent most of my university life in Halls of residence. This is because i found living there cheaper, convient and hassle free. Cheaper in sense which you dont have to pay for internet, bills, buspass, summer rent etc separately. These extra tasks require extra time and regularity which adds responsibility to oneself. Personally I rather spend my time on Anatomy then standing in tiring bank que. Living on your own also allows you to avoid house wars with your peers. In some universities they might not allow 2nd year students to stay in halls but if you apply well in advance then you can be sured that you will have a place to stay for next term.

Southampton has great diversity of people from all over the world. I even found a guy who is from FIJI and he can speak five other languages as well as Urdu which is southern asian language. That was so random and awesome in some way. Personally I dont go clubbing but if you do there is one place. Apparently it is the worst club in the entire United Kingdom and no one ever misses to go there. I know people who go there even in their exam times. I wonder to myself why?
Other activities include balling, rock climbing, hiking, sailing and other water sports.

Everything is fine except some of the library staff is very unco-operative and trouble makers.
There are spacious gyms, one located on campus and some near the halls of resident.
There is cube (bar) in the student union building which can accommodate a higher number of people a

We had a lot of events hosted by companies. Events consisted of meetings, presentations, career experiences and more other. We also had meetings with some teachers and older students that gave us insight into the course. There are several student halls that you can pick from, each of them having their advantage. The accommodation provides you with a fully equiped kitchen and a very tidy room. You also get to live with 5 other people in a flat so the environment is quite sociable. Library is great, you can find everything there and you always get a spot if you need to study or have a quiet break. Classrooms for us are really big as we are a huge number of students and they are always clean and ready. We also have a gym that allows us to practice all kinds of sports The course provides subjects that will always be helpful to you in this area so this keeps you interested at all times. The lectures are both interactive and online so it gives you the opportunity to rewatch them anytime or attend them if you cannot in person. They are also very clear and you may always ask for extra information if you feel like. The city is well orriented on student life. It has a great deal of clubs, shops and restaurants that offer student discount. We also get a free bus pass to ride the busses throughout town for a year. Overall, whenever you felt like going out, you had a lot of options to choose from.
