The best part about my uni experience is meeting new people, and being able to to specialise in specific Areas. Not only that but getting taught be people who actually know what they are talking about is very helpful as they are able to tell us about the industry from their perspective. The course is really interesting and is always a welcome challenge.
I think just more needs to be done in interest of the students
Love the ability to use all the facilities whenever I wish to use them and being trained on things for my course has been so cool! The parking is a pain- I can’t park on the uni until 10- but my lecturers start at 9 so it doesn’t work. I then have to park elsewhere unless I wanted to pay a fine (which I have already had to do because I didn’t have a permit). If I could park from 8 this would be a great help pls thank you
the best is the diversity and the inclusivity. the worst is probably the price of the mac and cheese haha but other than that it’s a fantastic university
Theres a lot of places to study and they are perfect
The location and the amenities make it a great place to learn. However, the course I am doing does not provide me with enough hours of learning
It is nice locals and very good teachers
In my program, we are only in twice a week and I feel like we don’t learn as much as other universities. We also don’t get any other additional certifications which would be nice
It’s very relaxed and welcoming to all students
It has a great social setting!
Amazing university.
Most of the uni staff go above to help students, many of them staying extra hours and using their free time and their own supplies to help. The worst part is that the uni doesn’t provide that much support so often you rely on the kindness of certain technicians and lecturers. XNor does uni check on some of the lecturers ability to teach and to keep the curriculum up to date (some courses unfortunately get lecturers that reuse the same teaching material for 5+ years - luckily this doesn’t happen that often)
Best: really good freshers for newcomers Worst: freshers dont last forever
Solent is really good when it comes to both the course content, this being how teaching is done, the guest talks and live client presentations. But the student support is great as they have staff that can help with pretty all issues, and they often get back to you quickly. One way it could be improved is by asking students what times are best for allocating the events and activities the university coordinates as more often than not, we cannot attend these due to other matters
There is so much to do and fun opportunities
Best is the facilities Worst is paying for supplies can become very expensive in an art course
Great library facilities with lots of space to work. Friendly staff. Campus is clean and tidy. Delays on feedback for work. No athletics track on campus
It’s ok
I think personally we could do with cheaper food and more options for bursary. I’m struggling money wise, finding a job isn’t easy and don’t get much support from home.


It’s easy to navigate
There’s too much online content
