The campus is very beautiful with lots of green space and a small stream running through it. Facilities are all very modern and the library is open 24/7 for all students who like to cram revision or pull all-nighters doing courses. As a student of Arts and Humanities Avenue Campus especially is a nice tight nit space with plenty of room for private study and places to relax with friends and coursemates. All staff are really supportive always offering help whenever it is needed and resources are all provided online.

Having just finished my time at the University of Southampton, I have to say that what really stood out for me was the attention that I received from lecturers and other members of staff.

Whenever I needed it, there was a huge support network out there to offer help with whatever issue I had, whether it be with assignments, planning for my year abroad, career advice or even just finding my way around the campus!

Especially in the Modern Languages department, I really felt that I had a family looking out for me, which most definitely enhanced my time at university as it felt so much more personal and supportive.

Would I recommend the university? Absolutely! If I were to apply all over again, I would pick it over and over – the campus is great, the city nightlife is perfect for university life and as I have said, students are really well cared for.

Sociable, friendly environment – not a crazy competitive environment, everyone finds their ‘level’ of academia. Very flexible on the course selection, enabling you to take courses from loads of different departments. Didn’t feel super under pressure all the time, the staff are all really lovely and helpful! It’s not the most academic university out there, but still highly regarded. More than anything, it’s super friendly, loads of fun, very sociable. So many clubs to get involved with, great sports. The campus is fun and buzzing, lots going on, and a real student hub. Everyone lives nearby it so it has a real community feel. Absolutely loved it there!
