The location is great everything is close to uni.
Amazing experience
Good facilities
I feel it’s the happiest place in my whole life. I’m very thankful for university management with the four chambers of my heart.
UMM I MEAN THE LOCATION AND MENTORS ARE GREAT THE ONLY DIFFICULTY FOR STUDENTS IS GETTING A JOB
Make the coffee cheaper. It’s the fuel that gets me through assignments and it costs too much money
Absolutely fantastic
2nd year and I’ve already had the best experience of studying at Solent University and I don’t think there is anything to improve
Best aspect: Support and Library
Everything moves so slowly, good projects/departments are often cut funding for no good reason, some of the lecturers are terrible but some of them are great. Needs more cool societies and way more funding for Solent creatives !!! Solent Creatives is the best part about the uni.
The Lecturers are great, very helpful and accommodating. Solent Creatives are wonderful, provide excellent opportunities and is a useful area of the university for a student
- more study spaces - possibly a uni bar - a common room with activities such as pool, sofas etc for hanging out

First gen student
Lectures timetabled on fewer days to allow time for other commitments, is really useful.
it’s small with good support improvement- student bar
The teachers are all passionate about what they teach. The food here isn't that bad, certain things are quite cheap. Can't think of any negatives.
It was really good, studies are going bit fast
One of the great things about uni life is that it has diversity of all walks of life and societies are kind such as the Solent Queer Society here at Solent University. If I could name one thing that could be improved is perhaps offer one-to-one sessions with students depending on what course they are studying to help them understand and learn more efficiently.
All good


It’s great in the sense it performs the function of a uni. It lacks a student union area (such as student bar), the catering is one dimensional, and some of the facilities are dilapidated
Half in person half online. There is a lot of reading information from the slides, not a lot of elaboration. Does question what is being paid for
