I think my uni provide much support in how to prepare my CV and update the information about employment.

I like seminar with no more than 30 people and dissuss with them. I dislike reading power point in whole class.

I think the activity is very human and rich.

pretty good

Southampton is very peace and convinence.

I like hiking clubs.

The uni provides Personal Academic Tutor to help us to deal with academic problems.

We have numerous careers fairs through the year. Our careers advisor is extremely helpful and friendly. We have an entire portal dedicated for careers and jobs and there are adverts and emails we get sent regarding new roles. Companies also often come in to give talks. Overall very good.

Very practical heavy so I end up learning a lot!

Wonderful - lots of societies, very friendly committee, very responsive and supportive to make sure the wellbeing of students are high.

Climbing wall, 6 gyms, dance studios, multiple bookable rooms, cafe, bar. Can't complain really.

Parts of the city are nice but other parts are quite dull and boring.

Over 300 available and well funded. Very good overall.

Excellent in general from what i've experienced.

There are alot of employability events but I have not got involved with many of these as my course is vocational.

I like my course structure the most. We learn lots of content but also get the opportunity to meet patients on a regular basis from the very start. My least favourite part of my course is that there are around 200 students in our lectures. This means that it can be difficult to ask questions whilst a lecture is going on. However, most lecturers welcome questions at the end.

I think our Student's Union is quite good. I am not involved in a major way but sometimes go to free taster sessions and other similar events held. During exam season there were many 'de-stressing' events as part of a 'you are more than your exams' initiative.

My accommodation is your 'typical' uni accommodation with a good size desk and single bed, shared bathroom and kitchen. It is the cheapest offered here but I actually like that because I have met people who have a similar budget to me to share with next year. It is very close to the main university campus, although it is quite a long way to go to get to any big shops.

I think the university's facilities are pretty variable depending on what course you study - to get a good idea it would be best to visit a subject at an open day.

Southampton is quite a small city. There are shops, cinemas, restaurants and clubs. There are occasional seasonal events (such as an outdoor ice rink) but it is quieter than a lot of other cities would be.

I think there is a good range of clubs and societies at Southampton, with multiple ability levels that are good at getting everyone involved, expert and beginner alike. However, to be a part of most sports clubs it is necessary to pay Sport and Wellbeing membership. This is quite expensive, at £110 per year but if you are interested in also having off-peak access to a gym it is then only £55 more expensive.

Personal support has been widely available at the uni. There is an advice centre, student life organisation (who are based in halls of residence) and we have had several talks from subject mentors and tutors about who we can talk to if we are struggling. Practical advice is also available from the student housing office and from sessions that we have attended such as 'look after your mate'. Academic support has not been as readily available on my course. I think academic support is offered if you request it but unless you ask specifically there are no frequent assessments and therefore feedback is not frequent.

They got so many events, stuff to help others for work

Teachers are patient

Great

Quiet but comfortable

Lovely

Lots of fairs and emails about student employability

I really liked the engineering competitions we all took part in at the start of the first and then second semester. During the first competition we had to design and build a small wooden glider. And in the second one we were given a lot more time to design and construct a squash ball launcher which had to accurately launch the ball from 2 to 6 meters. The whole activity took 8 days and taught me a lot about the design and manufacture process as well as team working and management skills. Also it was fun to mess around with springs

I think they are a bunch of wonderful active humans who organise tons of cool activities for everyone I haven't yet gotten involved, because of lack of time. In addition to studies I have started 2 new sports and am helping in an extracurricular engineering project.

The accommodation is good, although as a broke university student I would choose a simpler and cheaper option. There are 10 of us in the flat, we share a big kitchen which also is a social space for most of the time.

Great

It is interesting, because Southampton is also a port. There also is a variety of popular clubs and bars where students go on different days of the week

Oooooh boy. You would have to stay here for most of your life to go through all the clubs and societies. If you are playing or doing something right now, you will find a society for it. Or if you want to find something new, then you have a wide choice. When I came here I found out there is a society for canoe polo. Previously I didn't even know such a sport existed. But now I absolutely love it and the club is ever more growing. Overall, I think all the societies are great, because they are run by passionate students. Also, all of them have free taster sessions for which you can simply show up and try out a new activity before committing to it

The support is pretty great. Every students gets a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) which helps with any university issues you might have. There also is a student support centre for any issues if you don't want to bother your PAT. As for purely academic support, I do not think you can take all of it. Every lecturer has office hours dedicated to helping students, if they show up. So, if you are struggling with something you are able to get some help

Lots of careers events, employment and job opportunities newsletters, career panels, CV and LinkedIn workshops, careers fairs

My favourite thing is how much freedom we are given to choose modules and personalise our learning. It could be improved by more support with essays

They seem to do a lot of engagement, but I don't know much

Good - there is a gym and a pool with good opening hours, campus has a lovely green space, halls are nice, the library is good

Not a huge amount of culture, but good, especially for a student - there is a lot going on

There's a really wide range of clubs and societies, and lots of free tasters to give you a chance to try something new

If you contact them, lecturers reply quickly and it's easy to organise meetings with them. Personal support is good, but there is a long waiting list for most services

Talks, scholarship schemes, projects.

They are all involved, thoroughly planned and available afterwards online.

It's generally good

I absolutely love the Hockey club, I couldn't have asked for a better university experience with them

There are lots of career fairs and I get emails suggesting internships

Lecturers are very friendly and teach well

24

They provide with fun events

I have everything that I need. I especially like that I live near river and small forest/park, with a nice view to it

Pretty modern, which means really good. Except old computers

City is very beautiful with a lot of nature and a pretty old town. Night life is very good, each week day you can go to different clubs. Some are specifically best to attend at that specific week day

Here is a very big choice of them (about 300+). Being a part of a club is like being in a family

If something bad happens or if you have a question they are always ready to help (student life team etc.). Speaking about academic support every week I have support sessions for every module which allows me to learn very well what I didn't understand before

Sends emails about getting into different sectors post degree, research lectures and meetings

Most: practical elements, we get to meet patients from the beginning. Lecturers are most very nice Least: some lectures are awful, and judgemental even before they have met us, use a lot of fear mongering

Seems good. I have too much work to do and being involved by SUSU doesn't really interest me

Very nice

Very nice, lovely gym, library and shop

Good! Nightlife in Southampton is quiet fun and different, you can go out and make it cheap if you want to, really nice centre of town. The common is lovely. Some dodgy parts but that's ok

Good range, really good

Very good, support all round, especially in halls 24/7
