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.

Campus life is engaging and fun if you're active; lots of choices of sports and social clubs. 3sixty club in campus is also one of best student clubbing experience I've had in the UK. Library is chic and comfortable with sufficient study spaces and books / online resource. Course content is interesting and inspiring but coursework is indeed demanding (if you are a good and hardworking student). Tutoring hours is not quite enough and most of the time you are expected to guide yourself through module content and problem solving. Disabilities support is available and of easy access but they could be reluctant to provided further assistance to students suffering from severe conditions or sudden accidents, and this could impact your studies to a large degree. However, if you are a healthy student with normal social life, it is not that difficult to graduate with a 2:1 or 1st with a bit of hard work whilst enjoying uni life.

The great attributes of a place to study often include a conducive environment, access to resources like libraries or research facilities, supportive faculty, diverse academic programs, and opportunities for hands-on learning or internships. Improvements could involve enhancing infrastructure, increasing funding for scholarships or research grants, fostering a more inclusive and diverse community, implementing innovative teaching methods, and offering more support services for students' mental health and well-being.

Nice facilities, but dorm accommodations are uphill and far from campus (20min walk). As a new student, I do feel that there is a lack of organization in the INTO reception, for example all of the issues on their end when I had problems registering with my course and massive unnecessary delays getting access to ELE. Although, there are many more positives then negatives, for example student life is amazing, the INTO buildings are really nice and modern, and the quality of teaching is also amazing and staff and other students in general are really nice. Overall, id definitely rate my program a 4.5/5!
