I love my university! The people are all friendly and fun to be around, people actually want to study theirs subjects. The lecturers are willing to answer your emails and talk at any point and always give a helping hand when possible. I have a good range of optional modules on my course to choose what I want to specialise in. There is a huge range of halls, varying in condition and age and price, so everyone could find something for them, and guaranteed student accommodation to first years and international students is hugely reassuring! There are 3 bars/clubs on campus, a letting agents, a box office, cinema and theatre, and a giant library that has lots of individual cubicles for you to do work in. There is also a range of sporting facilities including gyms, which are also in some accommodation complexes, and a swimming pool. I really love the uni and the vibe it gives off.

Currently, I am studying child and adult nursing. No matter what people think about nursing it is a lot harder than you think but so the rewards are much greater. By going to Southampton you are able to go into multiple different trusts to see what you like and dislike in the different and diverse health care settings. The lectures are a wealth of knowledge and are always there for help and support. However, when coming to work on placement keep on top of it. If there is any issue say straight away or problems can occur.

Southampton has a lot to offer, it’s a very modern university but with aesthetically pleasing greenery around the campus. There’s over 200 societies ranging from dance and rugby to pottery, so there’s always something new to try. The night life is pretty good with a wide variety of clubs and bars dotted around the city. The faculty staff are really approachable and ready to offer any support throughout the year whether it’s regarding the course or if you’re struggling being away from home. I would definitely recommend studying at Southampton, the people are friendly and there’s a real community atmosphere within the university. There’s been some amazing experiences and I’ve made friends for life.
