What students say about art

It's really great having a community with artistic people. Even though, the tutors encourage us to work with other courses, I just wish that cross-curricular work was more facilitated. I would like to have more events where students, from different major, could get to know each other, share experiences and talk about their projects.

Southampton Solent University is an overall great place for students to study, offering excellent facilities, supportive staff, and a diverse learning environment. The university provides a practical approach to education, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside their academic studies. However, student life could be enhanced by offering more social events, parties, and get-togethers. These activities would help students connect, build friendships, and create a stronger sense of community on campus. With a livelier student social scene, Solent University would become an even more enjoyable and well-rounded place to study.

For our sewing class we have an amazing teacher which takes time to help us all individually and also guide us in the right path. To improve make sure all the teachers throughout the classes are as helpful as our sewing one. It is a great uni and course to do though and I'm glad I chose it.
