Good location and fun city
The support here is great and there is help for any problem you may face, the community is great and so are the staff. So far in my experience I haven’t had any terrible encounters
I think solent has some good facilities and a good system for making sure you can book in meetings with lecturers to receive help. I think there is a lack of support when something goes wrong academically and you aren’t sure where to go. there is a lot of waiting for people to get back to you which doesn’t always fit in with the deadlines that need to be met.
This uni provides the best care for their students. A few blips here and there with extra qualifications being offered and then being taken away, but other than that a pretty decent uni
Idk it’s decent
Great student environment. Good study facilities. I personally like that the gym membership are affordable. I also like that we have several options for food/beverage.
I like how it’s next to the city centre where all the shops and the mall are. Some teachers are very enthusiastic such as Janet.
Nice lectures, lessons, made lifelong friends, good experiences. But Teachers being a bit more clear in explaining the assignments and telling us all of the criteria beforehand. Go through it all!
The library is divided into different floors with one floor dedicated to Silent Study Area. The current challenge is finding a big enough classroom to accommodate a full class of 40+ students. The rooms are there but they are few that can accommodate large classes.
Personally, is the fact that it is close to home and has easy access to. It’s close to work and it allows me to balance my personal life with my studies. Great facilities, and supporting staff.
Best is trilogy on a Thursday or Friday Worst Kimber
Wednesday social is so good
The sport block is great for all my lessons. They have loads of gyms and massage beds which are needed in my course. They don’t have any sports grounds which is the only thing that I don’t like. We also don’t have a swimming club social which I would’ve really liked. The support I get from my teachers is really good. I can contact them through my phone for meetings face to face or online which is great.
Quiet place

First gen student
I think solent university is a great place to study cause I'm able to meet a lot of people and I have 3 classes in a week which gives me freedom to carry out my activities except studing...the teachers, facilities, student union all of them are great and knowledgeable and perfect for their spots...the thing I would like to add is to increase the number of co curricular activities like seminars and etc...
There are lots of different areas you can gain support in from mental health support, to support with your course work and support for the future! The services available to us are always promoted and I’ve only ever had positive experiences from them, helping me feel better in the present and more prepared for the future!! I feel some aspects of technology could be improved at our university. It is sometimes a struggle to find a working computer to use in the library
The university has a problem with staffing, we had teachers who just came and went and were also unqualified/not at a level where they should be teaching.


The university is good but we haven't had many classes to what I expected before coming her and also I feel they could help the students more with getting a job after graduating since the shipping industry is difficult to integrate but overall I've had a fun experience at this university so far and recommend students wanting to get a degree in Maritime Business to come study here.
It's taught well and the teachers are helpful and give good advices.
It can get dirty to live with other people if they don't wash the kitchen well but you make good friends when living in the halls.
