Overall, it's good. The community is buzzing as it has multicultural societies where everyone has different background and religion. Everything is relatively close by and can be achieved by walking which can be sort of exercise. Coop is alright but with value of money it isn't but tesco is

There's about 7 main night clubs such as Astoria, Tiger Tiger and Pryzm all of which have offers through out the week which makes night out cheap! Most of the chain food restaurants such as café rouge, wagamomas etc can be found at the cities designer outlet which over looks the docks. The designer outlet also includes a Vue cinema, bowling, cocktail bars and casino. Where most students live in second year, near Albert Road, is home to many more quirky resturants, bars and things to do. Portsmouth is a very keep city to live in with lots of places to eat and drink avaliable at student prices. There's also the beach which isn't more than a 30 minute walk form the university and the accommodation is reasonable and to a good standard. Portsmouth is also close to Southampton and Brighton with the train fayre not being much this allows for day trips to be a convenient option.

The town as a whole has good attractions for all but needs to have more halal food places and value for money cafes and restaurants for students as some places are expensive. There also needs to be more bigger supermarkets nearer by as there are more smaller shops.

There are many different shops avaliable for student to use, at a range of different price brackets. The area is clean and the beach is very well maintained. However, there could be a larger variety of bars and clubs near the town to go to.

Portsmouth is a fairly calm city, with easy access to most places. Buses tend to run regularly and there are around 5 train stations. The price of food isn't too expensive and there are a good number of supermarkets around. The people are generally friendly and passionate, mainly because of their love for football and Portsmouth Football Club.

Portsmouth is a city full of gems - lovely scenery along the seafront, a great shopping outlet, many independent shops and restaurants in Southsea, and cheap and cheerful drinking. However once you've seen it, you've seen it. This may be because I'm from London, and am used to a large city, but the city can lose your interest. It's been a pleasure studying here, but I'll be happy to return to the hustle and bustle of the capital.

Food - Lots of range (especially take away) and not too expensive. Bit rough in places but looks rougher than it actually is. Very student centred place to live. Uber is amazing.

Not many things to do. There are some nice views and shopping places however all close early. Would be better if there were a few 24/7 shops and more places that closed much later.

A good city with nice people and there is a good nightlife. There is always something to do or see and travelling round Portsmouth can be good. Train services are OK.

Nights out are ok with 3 clubs to choose from and lots of bars and pubs. Good shopping centre in commercial road. Lovely pier on the beach and funfair and arcades

Fantastic nights out in Gunwharf and Southsea. Great access to Gosport via the ferry which is an amazing place to be. Quite noisy and a lot of undesirable people but you get what you pay for!

The locations for everything is a walking distance which is helpful but at the same time a hinderance because it gets packed like the gym
