Solent is a fantastic place to study, it's directly in the town center, the night life is fantastic and the uni is amazing. My lecturers are completely hands on, they want to know about all our work, it's a small class but u learn more that's way.
It’s a great University to study at, and spend time with friends
Solent University is a great uni known for its practical courses and strong industry connections.
Its fun to be here I enjoy choosing this university was one of the best options and i will recommend to others to and the study life is well balanced
Really good facilities with the gym and library with friendly staff as well and local support networks and a great place to be with friends in the city, however lack of lessons means your mostly spending time alone if you are unable to make mates
It’s alright near the town so somewhat xonvient
The campus and location is great but I wish there were more contact hours
The uni is amazing, the building I am in for my course is very big with lots of facilities and very simple guides and instructions on where and what it is. The staff are all very nice I haven’t had a bad experience with them at all. The location is only 5 minutes away from the centre of Southampton so it is very accessible for people and the reverse so people who are at uni they only have to walk down the road to be able to grab something to eat or go to the center for their needs. Student life is okay but I live away from the uni or dorms so I don’t really know anyone so that is a personal thing to me but from what i see their is a lot of people that have a great time and know many people which is always good
+ new friends getting better in field i’m passionate about having a lot of opportunities outside of school having many people to turn to for help - stresful not in depth enough / not comprehensive enough for the money
Being an international student at solent is fun and local is good but the campus is small. The city centre very close to university and student accommodation so the transport is not an issue. Overall the university is good but it's tiny and that is fine. Just adding more student engagement and extra curriculum activities will make the experience more good
Solent is lively and modern but teaching standards could improve
This best about the uni experience is that you meet new people, learn more about your subject of interest to progress in a career with it. The worst is that it’s more independent for like when it comes to work and assignments which I am adjusting to.
Great enviroment very hands on practical learning lecturers are enthusiastic about their modules
So far the teaching environment has been wonderful and really rewarding. This has actually been able to push me further and encouraging me to strive for my best in university life!
Wide range of courses, so it makes sit easy to choose what to study. Clubs and societies are great as well, and the location of campus adds to that.
Our lecturers are really approachable and give us a lot of help, but I wish we had more contact hours
Amazing
