University of Southampton

Events were wayyy too overpriced, they were just normal nights out for 5 times the price... Meeting flatmates was awesome and we had a courtyard in the block which was great to get to know the neighbours. My advice would be to have a big pre drinks and get to know as many people as possible, they will be your mates for the year.

I don't really have anything to compare it too, but it was okay, there were events and socials which i went to a few of and there were quite good but they could be expensive

Move in was very smooth and helpful with reps there to help move you in and answer questions. We then had a welcome meeting on our first night with talks from all of our halls reps and wellbeing staff. We collected tshirts and then went out for our first night together as taxis were organised by the halls reps. The rest of the two weeks included a wide variety of events that could appeal to many different people depending on their interests.

Was fun, had a lot of nights out, I didn’t meet many of my loner term friends during freshers. More events to get students to integrate within halls would have been good.
