Solent has a welcoming and upbeat feel to it. People are happy to help and always encourage you to get involved in things. The facilities are modern and pleasant to the eye. The student union run events regularly. The location of the university is great as is the city and night life. I am yet to have an experience that suggests an area of improvement.
Don't throw away your money and time by doing animation in Solent, I believe the uni has some really good courses that are probably worth their cost, but this is NOT one of them. The teachers in this course hate teaching, they don't care about you at all, you will maybe get one lesson per week if the teacher bothers to think of something that day. Some will offer experience at their studio, but they just want free work from students, and most times they will promise you pay that you will never see. They say the teachers are "professionals" of the industry, with their own studios. The truth is that their knowledge is SO outdated, both in 3D and 2D that it doesn't resemble the practices of the industry nowadays. If you are hoping to learn 3D, I'm telling you, they will not be able to teach you here and you will probably learn nothing. I have genuinely learnt more in 5 months once I graduated than in the full 3 years of uni.
I regret coming to this university as we barely got any resources or any premium experience to justify the cost of this, the degree is worthless its just a piece of paper to be honest. I dislike how long it takes to get a reply from the university and feel let down as a whole.
It's been good, I have learned things that aren't taught in class, and I have used many different work tools. However, my mental health hasn't been the best. Uni isn't the only cause but it's definitely part of it .
Don't study Animation/Digital Animation at this university! Useless lecturers, lessons keep getting canceled, no guidance at all. Awfully disorganised and overall a terrible mess. Complete rip off!
It has been a good experience. I have been unable to attend man socials due to not living locally in halls. Commuting is difficult and i wish i did live in halls for at least a year to have a more social experience.
I am an international student and I would recommend peers to join that uni since I satisfied with my choice. I feel confident about the future after I graduate and I looking forward to implying what I have been taught so far.
I absolutely love it here. Nothing else to say but this is the happiest i have been due to both the academic side and the social side. The living situation is giving me a new experience to learn from and i am very much enjoying it.
My experience so far has allowed me to gain strength in my art practice, allowing me to expand my ideas and thoughts on art and related topics such as politics, representation and theoretical approaches to work.
1st year was atrocious and. 2nd year is far more interesting and a lot better to handle. I would suggest for new students to make a great support group filled with trusted friends because I only have one good friend now and I wish I had a couple more but I didn't make the effort in first year. Remember why you came to uni and you have to work really hard for it.
The university is great. Fun lessons. Made lots of new friends of different ages that have the same interests as me. There is a society for any interest you may have.
Good experience overall. Opportunities and work in uni helps. I recommend this university to other students. Very good experience with the city and university.
I certainly love it. It's an experience that has to be lived by everyone. We have to make the most of it as long as it lasts. I most certainly feel that when I graduate I'll miss this.
I love university , I received a lot of support from the teachers and I made many friends. I am in the first year, I do not have so many experiences, but I want to make many memories and live new experiences.
Love going to uni , library is fab, tutors are helpful and everyone seems nice. It was a great choice to go to uni and i love the whole journey. Dont regret anything
