Chichester is a safe city/town. It’s got a really nice atmosphere to it but not the best night life. The university could do with more communication between courses, especially those in joint routes.

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.

The activities organised by the school for MBA students is impeccable. From industry seminars, to skills workshops and immersive group bonding events it’s truly been amazing. One area of improvement would be for the school to partner with institutions for secure placement opportunities for their students, especially international students so their learning experience is robust and seamless.

WIFI is absolutely awful and there are many dead zones around campus. How can a top-level engineering university provide such poor internet connection, especially when all of our assignments are internet based and due online? I am constantly searching for places around campus with any useable connection and the VPN speeds when you're off campus are just unusable. It's the year 2024. How have we not figured this out yet? It's absolutely unaccusable. You have the money to build an entire new campus, but can't fix the internet at your main campus? Awful.

The support Brighton Uni has given me so much support with this course and made it very clear who to contact if any issues arise. I also know from friends how incredibly supportive and sympathetic the uni has been when they have experienced personal issues. This is my second Uni I have studied at, and Brighton is far better with the support it gives its students compared to the first one.

The careers team is amazing at posting job listings. They are so proactive in getting you the right support and I love that about them. And I think the structure of some teaching material could be improved with bringing the right balance of AI into studies

The best aspect for me is the location. I love being so close to Brighton and Stanmer park. There have been times where I have felt I could use with more support/ input from lecturers or tutors this term and I have felt very overwhelmed and burnt out adjusting to the new style of learning. Maybe for the first term students could receive more guidance if they feel necessary?

The library is amazing with 3 floors hundreds of books and computers better than most universities. all buildings are good with a modern feel. In my opinion The only way it could be improved is the toilets in some buildings. The campus has an earthy feel with the grass sections and green on the buildings.

Love that it feels like you are part of a community the lecturers and module leaders really support me and actually take on our feedback, tweaking parts of assessments that we don't like for students the following year. Studying in the heart of London is lovely as I get to explore around whilst learning. The campus atmosphere is very diverse with students from varies backgrounds and a welcoming space for international students. I love my course and the modules are taught with consideration and thought. I like how we can learn a foreign language as part of our course if we wish to so I have taken Spanish. I do wish there were sports actvities in the London campuses and not just only in Harrow and I want societies to be more proactive in replying online via social media to students with queries and those wishing to join.
