Location and environment is good, feels like home.
Great support
Best aspects is resources available to further you're knowledge, and the support for students. Worst aspect is the expense of food.
Great University with a lot of support available.
It's better to improve our library timing back to 24 hours
It's good.
Southampton is just a great city for study like it’s close to London but not as expensive and people here are kind and supportive of each other. Solent Uni is close to city center and it’s student residence making it much easier to live as a student compared to some of the other options.
Courses especially the sports courses could be more competitive to give the feel of competing for things , however it’s a overall great place to study and it’s a great community to be around.
It’s quite disorganised which causes added stress during the enrolment stage and has set me back at the start of this academic year. The criminology department is really helpful and engaging in the seminars.
Everyone is so friendly, the equipment is good for what I need to make my film projects and it's a large place so there are many places to explore and have fun! I feel that there could be a mental health group meet up every once in a while.
Location is ideal. Good student support from lectures.

I love the overall look of the uni itself, it makes being there so much more enjoyable and nicer to be in. The lecturers are great, I like the fact that they have professional experience working in the field which is so helpful. The uni has really good industry like equipment available for us to use, preparing us for a job after university. However, I went to the student hub for a careers drop in after cancelling appointments, but due to staff shortages I’ve had to make another appointment.
