What students say about general-studies

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

Badminton has been amazing. In my first year I was worried and honestly didn’t like the uni. But once I took the risk and put myself out there and jumped into it I found my people. When you go to new places it scary. But that’s what makes it so rewarding.

Support Services are amazing. They go out of their way to support my peers and me. They are a credit to the university. - Lecturers are very supportive, especially with assignments University halls are in desperate need of refurbishing. Harry Law, Bateson and Rees are the main offenders. Generally, the university's estates need investment.

What students say about general-studies

All staff in university is eager to help you with any kind of questions or problems. At lectures teachers are really engaging and supportive. You never notice how quick time flies during lectures. Especially, before any assignments you are given every detail about it, so you are well prepared and not scared at all. Birkbeck suggests a lot of opportunities for busy social life, where you can meet lots of enthusiastic people, and opportunities for future career such as additional workshops, professional guests, etc. I love being a part of this community!

My experience at the University of Sussex has been great so far. The courses are engaging, and the campus offers a supportive and diverse environment. It’s a fantastic place for both academic and personal growth.

What students say about general-studies

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

I love the university, my course is great and covers a variety of topics. The facilities on campus are amazing and I can book out the dance studios for free. The Roehampton students union is ok but the communication could be better between societies and also in general. I would love the RSu to host more events or at least support and promote other events at the union bar students can attend.

What students say about general-studies

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 best aspects break down two points. The first thing is the harmonic settings between natural and artificial aspect. The second thing is warm-hearted help from the Exeter Guild assistants. The trouble from me will be improved by them with warmed mentality. The worst aspect is about purchasing some useful electronic tools, such as UK phone recharger plug. It was somewhat doable for me to find phone recharger cables in the Uni market, yet not the plug. For international students who have not used the UK plug in their countries may get trouble in use the recharging service in the University.
