Very hit and miss

Lecturers are often engaging and provide sufficient content, and are available for extra guidance and support. However, in the Southampton Business School I feel as if some of the compulsory modules I take are slightly irrelevant to my chosen career. There is a good amount of contact hours (where the large majority are on-campus) but in the Southampton Business School, contact with tutors is poor. However this is not necessarily the case for other faculties (some of my other flatmates have regular tutor sessions).

The cost of living seems relatively average for a uni in the south of England, as student house prices are quite affordable. In general I feel very safe when walking around Southampton during the daytime and mostly nighttime (as a man). After nights out there are plenty of options for rides home depending on where you go, although buses stop running after 00:30. Part-time work opportunities are good - most of my flatmates have part-time work alongside their studies, and there are also work opportunities via the Student Union. I feel Southampton are very strong in providing many graduate opportunities due to the amount of career development fairs, schemes etc available to access. There is also a careers team you can go to for help regarding help for employment and advice on CVs etc. For a southern city I was surprised by how diverse Southampton was. Coming from London as a POC, I was expecting the city to lack diversity but there is always a mix of different cultures and ethnic backgrounds in the city. On campus, white students are the majority but you still don’t feel alienated (especially since there are many societies you could join to meet likeminded people from the same backgrounds, e.g ACS, Sikh society, Malaysian society).

I chose Wessex Lane since it was the accommodation with the cheapest ensuite. Overall this is the main advantage I saw, as well as the fact that the accommodation was very close to campus (15-20 mins walk or a 5-10 mins bus journey). However, these are the some of the oldest halls so most flats are not that modern. Other accommodations (such as Mayflower) are much more modern and up-to-date. They may also have fewer maintenance issues. For instance, there have been a few times where the hobs have stopped working in my flat. Wessex Lane feels extremely safe as there is 24/7 security and reception. The maintenance team and enabling services are also responsive following requests. Overall I am satisfied with my choice of halls, although I feel it is slightly overpriced.

I’m enjoying the modules so far. They’re engaging and up to date as far a marketing is concerned. We also have multiple resources given to us as students which is great too.

Kingston is a quiet but lively place outside of London which is nice. It’s also great that central London is only 30 minutes away by tube. Accommodation is still pricey but the renovations of the uni accoms are modern and the support and service from accommodation reception is great. The school has great support too. As long as you have the email of the department your looking for, you get your response and help as soon as possible. The school is pretty diverse as well with people from all over the world and of various ages, religion and identities.

Chancellor’s Hall is a great accommodation if your department is based in Kingston Hill, which is just a 5 minute walk. The support at reception has been helpful since the day I moved in and are always ready to help you. There are so many events that Chancellor’s organise, we’ve even have food truck come and give us free food. We also get free coffee and tea every Wednesday mornings which is so great. The accommodation is a bit pricey. I have one of the cheapest roomiest at £175 pw that comes with an en-suite and plenty of storage but no lift in the building so be prepared to either carry your load up the hill and up the stairs or spend more money for the for the larger room with a lift. The accommodation is expensive but it has been a great place to stay. We’ve only had one issue with the internet and we all received an emailed apology from the company but other than that the internet is fast and reliable.

considering it’s an advertising course there’s no indication of what the industry is really like, no creative aspect and no use of any sort of equipment to find out

staff were strange no help in pandemic

Had Poole get caught plagiarising assignments yet they continue to be at the Uni

Course hours are convenient and the teaching methodology is a mix of online and in-person classes. The best part is group assignments, which helps us to get a hint of how we can work as a team when we get placed in future. Lecturers answer the queries and are very much approachable when you feel out of place.

it's general enough to learn about a lot of different things but that also makes it harder to focus on one thing and get very good at it

it is in the city centre which makes it easy to reach. everything is within a five minute walk so you can go to the pub or else after uni work
