Southampton

Southampton is a great place to be as a student. It's a very lively town with a very big shopping centre. Everything is very close and in walking distance to eachother.

I think the public transportation in our city is pretty good, lots of bus choices to travel around. Train stations are easy to reach in different part of the city (city center, portswood, airport, etc) and it takes you to London in less than 2 hours. There are good restaurants around, especially the new west-quay provides a central area you can explore your dinning choices. Though shopping choices are not much, all the major high street brands are available. Supermarkets are always within walking distance or short bus ride. Not much entertainment choices in our city, but I enjoy the events organised here from time to time.

Southampton is a great city with lots to do, although it is a city there are lots of green open spaces, everything is fairly close by and there are lots of independent shops and cafes.

Southampton is a great city for shopping and food. The West Quay is home to many different shops which caters to a variety of people. Restaurants in Southampton are also great as there are many different cuisines to try from!

Southampton is a beautiful city. Full of attractions; a huge choice of nightlife with some of the cheapest drinks ideal for students. Being located so close to the heart of Southampton itself made it very easier for those everyday shopping trips. I love the town center there is so much to choose from and around Christmas the German market is to die for.

The city has great historical significance as well as a multitude of shops, restaurants and parks to visit. It has great transport links and is home to a well regarded university.

Southampton is an amazing city to study in. It has everything you need and more. The town centre delivers amazing shops, restaurants and things to do. There are many parks surrounding the Uni perfect for when it gets warmer. The night life in Southampton is perfect for students especially on a budget and I would definitely reccomend Southampton as a place to study.

Really calm area, with a great lively campus. The night life is very good since there are plenty of clubs available in the city centre and also in Portswood.

Very easy to get to due to it being in the city centre.

I chose my uni partly because of its location. Southampton is in the south which means it's decent weather, it is close to London, close to Bournemouth with its lovely beach. The city is not too big so you can get to places on foot or by a short bus ride, but it is not too small either, meaning it has something for everyone, lots of shops, pubs, clubs, cinemas... The uni itself has a great location, pretty much in the middle of the city so everything is accessible from there.

Southampton is a fantastic city with plenty of activities, places and venues to check out, an ideal location for any student for an under or post graduate. Firstly, Southampton offers a wide range of day time activities to get involved in. West Quay is a shopping place like no other with plenty of high stress shops and departments stores to explore to find the thing you’re looking for. The new cinema next to West Quay also is one to check out, reclining seats who can say no?! As well as shops, Southampton has a wide range of places to stop and have a bite to eat. The new Southampton complex next to west quay has so many choices from TGI fridays to Five guys Southampton certainly offers you plenty of choice. As Southampton enters night time the city comes alive! Students and adults alike head out to all the bars on above bar street and Bedford place where not one night is quiet! For those who want to party into the night, Bedford place is THE place to be! With plenty of bats turning into clubs the drinks will certainly be flowing!

The location of Southampton is perfect for students because the city caters for students very well. As the city holds two massive universities, the town, and surrounding towns, cater well for students including student meal deals and excellent student nights out.

Southampton is a great place to live as a university student or otherwise. There are lots of places to eat in West Quay and around city centre that cater for different dietary requirements and wishes. The value for money is good as there are often student deals about especially around freshers. The location is also really good as there are good transport links to amazing beach destinations like Bournemouth and Isle of Wight that make for good days out. There’s also good transport within the city with unilink buses every few minutes. There’s also a cinema on campus which is a cheap and great way to spend an evening. All in all I would highly recommend.

Very fun, lots to do. Not the safest place but not the worst. Everything is near by. Only thing is I find it a bit depressing. No sunlight due to big dull sad buildings. Not for those who get misreble easily.

Good basic ammenities - great shopping/eating out and decent night's out, and very good transport links. However, little to do otherwise - lack of cultural events on offer and general 'unique' places to go. Lots of chain stores.

The university is very well connected with “Unilink” buses running from both train stations, the shopping centre, all 4 campuses and out to the airport- this makes it super easy to get around. The uni is about 20 mins or from the shopping centre/cinema/food places by bus

A humble city that in its attempts to expand and appeal, has turned into an industrial brutalist landscape filled with franchises and horrible pubs. It doesn’t quite capture the essence of a City by the sea.

A lot of eateries and absolulty stunning night life. An occasional beautiful sunset over the container terminal however these are very few between.

It depends what you mean by location. In terms of its closeness to student amenities: it is close to most of the big night clubs (20 minute drive furthest). It has a large city center of the same distance with a good range of shops, cinemas, bowling and many restaurants. The University itself has a good enough campus with its own cinema, shop, bars and restaurants. Additionally, you don't have to go as far as the town center to find shops, clubs and restaurants/bars etc., for all of this can be found in Portswood.

Convenient shopping around uni and they’re value for money. Plenty of options to choose from for eating out and night outs

Southampton is very much so a vibrant and bustling city on the coast, with plenty to do and see in and around the area. The two universities in the city sees a very large student population and that there are many events tailored to student nights/evenings. The city centre comprises of multiple shopping centres as well as bars and restaurants.

Southampton has everything you need in and around a town centre - from pubs to clubs, fancy eateries to takeaways, shopping malls to high street stores, leisure centres to cinemas. You'll find everything you need in Southampton, and it has plenty to offer - young or old! A big part of the city is its parks, which definitely make getting around nicer and prettier (especially in Spring!) Overall a great place with plenty to see and do.

The area of Southampton Solent university is quite good. There is a shopping centre close to the university with lots of food places and clubs close to the uni like oceana, switch and junk.

Southampton is a lovely place to be in a cords to accessibility. Being right near the city centre is great, everything is within walking distance, they're are tonnes of shops and food places and entertainment and loads of parks to chill in on nice days. Absolutely love it here.
