I love that my course is diverse and has people from different parts of Uk and also people from different parts of the world. we share and alot from each other. i also love that all my lecturers are accessible and we can reach out to them any time, they treat us with alot of respect i feel more like a professional already than a mere student.
Nice place with decent facilities around like the gym, clinic and cafeterias that are around. Can be improved if there better app interface
The uni is very supportive and the student hub always finds a solution to any problem. The education is very good and the lecturers are very helpful and supportive. Theuni is very diverse and celebrates most festivals and i live participating in the events. The worst thing about the uni is the canteen food they recently changed the menu and the options are not great need better and tastier options.
Very friendly people, can answer any question or find someone to help. There are many venues near by to find connections with people with a similar interest to you. Some people may not care about the uni life, but your uni experience is how you make it, so take all that you can from it. Make great friends and gain all the experience you can.
I really like how friendly and approachable the staff members are and the course i'm doing is really interesting to learn about. One thing i would want to improve is to provide more fresh fruit on campus so students can have a healthier choice when it comes to food
Solent university is a lovely place to study, it has a great atmosphere with a modern feel. There are many facilities available for your comfort. however I feel like a lot of our money goes to fancy bathrooms and a expensive restaurant (the dock) instead of actual things I need for my course. as I do special effects make-up I need my own kit for it, which we had to pay for entirely ourselves! after spending £9000 on the course already, I was surprised and annoyed that we had to pay another £1000 in the first year for a kit, and another £500 in the second year. It makes me wonder where my £9000 a year actually goes to.

They are very supportive and they providing all the best facilities
Love it
I don’t have a bad word to say about my degree I’ve not had any bad experiences with any of the teachers, I’ve felt really supported during my university experience, even in second year when things are a little bit more independent there is still a very good support system to hand in terms of your lecturers and also the student hub has really good facilities on offer to all students
The Fashion and Beauty media course is amazing. I’m in my second year and can’t explain how much it has taught me and opened up my eye to the fashion and beauty world. It is so diverse giving you the opportunity to study in many aspects and then refine your skills throughout the course, it is so much fun and always interesting. Such a supportive bunch of lecturers, with amazing industry knowledge and fun teaching techniques along with offering you support whenever you need. Can’t recommend this course at Solent uni enough
Southampton is in a great location with good housing options and good transport links. Parts of Solent uni need desperate repairs such as areas in JME
I've got problems with my visa at the start of the year, I panicked a lot and everyone helped me and was understanding, this place makes me feel more safe than I've been before uni. I'm very greatful to be here. :)
There's a lot of support from lecturers to make it a smooth learning experience No more 9 am
The environment and study life.
The equipment access is amazing, as are the technical instructors. They are always happy to help out. The lecturers are a mixed bunch, some of the best ones were let go due to budget cuts. Some are good but not practical enough. Some have no idea what they're doing or do the bare minimum.
The staff genuinely care and are really brilliant and supportive. The facilities on the music courses are amazing
I'm loving it here
I love this University

the city is great and so is the night life the only downside is that the university buildings aren’t the newest or most contemporary looking
very interesting and keeps on your toes however some lecturers are just really boring and their teaching styles aren’t the nest
wifi cuts really often but residence team is available 24/7 which is great
