Great support for students.
Location is great. Has loads of Facilities. The staff are very supportive and are there when u need them. Could support with exams and how it is structured.
The campus enviroment makes it feel enjoyable and able to study well. Makes uni life an dxciting experience, The places it could improve on are same social events, more opportunitys to help students grow and suceed after uni.
The events are amazing and very fun. Everyone is friendly and helpful
Great university and great tutors. Very helpul and friendly
The best is definitely the societies, the professors and student life. The worst is concerning internships- no company wants to have interns and my interests are quite niche (high-performance yacht design) which limits my choices, especially in the UK. But the university gives a lot of support for that. I would also say its very hard to get great marks (above 65%) in assignments and most exams. The exam schedule is given very late.
I've been here 2 years, foundation and first year, and I feel terrible being at this school. The Physics department is horrible, they aren't really focused on being good teachers or the students. They don't listen to what students say unless it's positive and they will lie straight to your face. The school supposedly prides itself on student well-being but that is far from the truth. They've shown no care about any struggle I've been dealing with since the beginning. At this point I don't even feel like I can trust the staff at all. The area is remote and very few large attractions, which I'm ok with. I like quite and if I want I can always visit somewhere. They don't really give a good school/life balance. They say go join a society and have fun, but when? The class schedules are terrible, classes everyday but never bunched together. You basically have to stay on campus or just miss class because they're spread 1-3 hours apart for 1 hour long classes.
The number of societies that you can get involved with means you can try anything and everything alongside studies. The course is a good challenge and every lecture is something new and interesting.
Life at the University of Southampton has been really enjoyable and well-rounded. There’s a great balance between academic work and social life, with plenty of opportunities to get involved in societies, sports, and events. The campus has a friendly atmosphere, and it’s easy to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds. Southampton itself is a lively and convenient city, with good transport links and lots to do in your free time. Overall, it’s been a welcoming and supportive place to live and study.
Best - location of the university and the facilities and opportunities in my course Worst - Not much support from the student union

It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
