Meeting fellow cadets (best) Exams (worst)
The timetable is not very organised.
I love studying at Southampton Solent. We have a fantastic course rep scheme, I myself am a course rep and I feel very heard by my course leaders. The student union is a fantastic help whenever I have any questions. Our lecturers are flexible and have fantastic knowledge of their topics. I commute around an hour from uni and I’m able to get here quite easily. It’s so close to shops and restaurants, meaning we have plenty to do when we’re not studying. The library is also extensive and it’s very easy to take a book out, there’s also a very reasonable amount of books you can take out at any one time.
No SU bar, my course has its bad moments but thats no the fault of the uni. Prices of food is insane, 5 pounds for a meal deal yeah right
not bad
The best aspects is that it’s very creative friendly likes to promote people skills whether it be through art, music videography sport, etc it has a good sense of community. worst aspects is that there isn’t much financial support
The university invests in its courses, students, facilities and opportunities well. We are made aware of all of the support and opportunities available to us, and sometimes it is so much that you couldn’t do it all - this is how I know solent is a great uni for us as students. My lecturers have a genuine passion for the subject and its content, and this encourages me as a student to feel that same passion, and helps me to progress both personally and within my studies.
media department is incredible
The uni has great facilities to help you get accustomed to life in a new city and environment. Anyone from any walk of life feels welcome here.
The city is great and the uni is even better . The staff are very supportive and the course is engaging and fun. I feel like I’m leaning a lot and can’t wait to learn more
