i love the facilities at this uni, the library and the teaching is great. there are many places for all types of students ,quiet or not, to go and the nightlife in the city is prety decent. it is quite affordable compared to other universitys close by. the societies are fantastic aswell. the university could improve on certain teaching aspects in the first year to ease us into how very independant it all is

Going to the University of Portsmouth was the best decision I made. Incredible facilities and opportunities, great academic and pastoral support, generally nice city, all buildings and accomodation are a short walk from each other. Portsmouth is also a fairly cheap place to live, with both rent and shopping being cheaper compared to many other unis in the south.

I like how we aren't directly on a campus so we feel a part of the city it helps me explore the area. There is a lot to do and a lot of pubs and a few clubs as well as sober activities. The library in particular is so amazing and really good its a 24 hour library

I like the city, and the fact that campus is based all over the city with different buildings. A lot of places to study in, and the teachers in my course are great. One thing that is not as good is the old buildings, I would like a bit more modern at least in the inside, and its sometimes very cold in the classrooms, but I guess that's just the UK haha.

As someone with anxiety which limits how long and when I can leave the house I appreciate the welcoming nature of the lectures and staff as they understand and have made changes within exams and how much attendance I have to have. However, the uni could definitely benefit from more places for interviews as it is only really possible to get a room in the library when needing to interview someone which is particularly difficult within my course. I also think that there should be a way to have accommodation with especially cheap rent for those who don’t have family support causing them to have to spend more than others as student finance is their only income.

Lecturers are really nice and ready to help you. Worst aspects: probably more financial support for international student

As an international student, I love the facilities and the support the teachers gave us. They have a career support centre that is the best thing in the uni because they help you find the job you want. In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the timetabling because it's always changing, and some classes are too far away from each other.

It is a wonderful place to study and learn. The international environment makes everything more suggestive and professors stimulate you with their lessons. I haven't found a bad thing yet, but I don't think there is.

Portsmouth is lovely place to be a student and there are so many student focused night out opportunities and the union is so lovely as well as the library. As it is a city campus, some buildings are different than others. The criminal justice building is in my opinion quite sad looking. But that's a minor detail. Which is why I gave "campus look and feel" a 4 out of 5
