The campus was great. The library was one of the best ive ever been to. The only two criticisms would be: 1) Piazza (the uni cafeteria) detoriated in quality through my years in uni. 2) Hartley Library was ridiculously hot during summer. Regarding careers services, as a student in the business school faculty I can safely say that there weren't enough careers events. Regarding the course, some of the lecturers/tutors provided in our first and second years were extremely unfit for the positions. However, that changed in final year.

Chill place, good for comp science and fairly wide selection of societies but the city hasn't got much to do outside student life

Campus is really great. However for my course (nursing) their is not enough support and a smaller cohort would enable best service

The university of Southampton is a lovely place with lots of green spaces, cafes and restaurants. The student union is amazing with their own cinema and American style diner

I love it here. This statement sums it all up. Coming to Southampton was the best decision of my life. The campus is huge, also the facilities are up to the mark. University of Southampton is mostly research oriented so there's so much to discover, there are guest lectures which tell us more about the outer world, there are timely feedbacks for all assignment and there is always something going on with the student union which keeps environment chirpy

A good sized campus in the city of Southampton with good facilities, especially for engineering as there is another, new, separate engineering campus. The newer halls are very nice and halls are guaranteed for all first years.

Great facilities on campus, a great feel to the student union. Every Monday they have a farmers market on campus. All buildings are clean, comfortable and modern

The university is very diverse, from different ethnic backgrounds. Medicine course is amazing, it's well structured using an integrated approach. Lots of great societies, some you wouldn't see in other universities. Campus is very close to accommodation and student houses, hospital is only 10 mins away by car. Great university

The campus are close to the shopping centre and the halls which is quite useful. The student union is quite good as well including numerous shops, a cafe, starbucks etc. It has a really big library where students can go. I often go there to get books and use the computers to print off stuff. I really enjoy my course and the lectures are quite useful alongside with the seminars. Seminars are full of discussion helping a lot with the assignments given to us.

Lectures good, university facilities good! Union politics atrocious - many students feel under represented.

I love my uni and if I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing. I really like the feel on campus and I feel very comfortable here. I've found there to be a good mix of lecturers, some of which exude passion and inspiration. My course is tough but I thoroughly enjoy it.

Overall really really good, the campus is great and has just the right mix of green and built up areas although it could do with a few more modern buildings. My course, is perfect, the teaching and support is superb and I don't know what I would have done without it! Overall, Southampton has been fantastic!

Overall, Southampton has been pretty fantastic. The campus itself is a good mix of green areas and more busy built up sections and is exactly what I want from uni, even if it could do with a few new, modern buildings. My course, Natural sciences, is phenomenal. Everything about it is perfect, from the staff to the support, I've completely loved it! The union needs some work, although many of the reps are great, I just think overall, the university needs to advertise what it has on offer more to current students and help them make the most of it more! The uni is immense, but only for those willing to make the most out of it!

Good uni, good lectures, Good setup. Been at the university for a year now, the lectures are all co-ordinated in a very organised way with labs being intertwined within this way of teaching.

I absolutely love this university, there is so much support available here in regards to study, mental health, financial struggles, etc. The campus is amazing, there's shops, bars, restaurants, amazing coffee shops, hairdressers all within campus grounds. They have so many facilities, an amazing library available to all students, great study areas/ rooms in the library where you can get book loans and even take them home for a period of time. The student union is also very good. I used the uni lettings agency to rent a house with my friends. They were amazing regarding any queries we had and also helping us find a house that was suitable to us and also within a price range. Overall my uni experience has/ is still amazing. I definitely would recommend this university to students who plan to study in the future and also Southampton is a great place to live.

I really like Southampton University and am glad that I choose this as the place to do my degree. The lecturers here care about how you are doing and want to help whenever they can which I really appreciate. The careers service offered are also useful, I've found the workshops particularly good ar preparing me for life after graduation. The library is a good place although I feel like they could do with expanding the study areas of providing more options for places to work during the exam period as it gets so busy! The food options are good on campus although they could do with some more vegetarian options in the piazza

I study Philosophy at the University of Southampton and I have found the facilities very good - there is a huge library on both the main campuses with rooms you can study and computers where you can work or search for the book you are looking for. The lecture theatres are large and the lecturers I have met have all been very helpful.

university is in a great location, near to london and bristol but don't have that really congested feeling. Night life is good with several clubs to go to. There is also a lot of activities to do with the southampton common, west quay, pure gym and bournemenmouth and portsmouth very close

Really bad senior support. Good sport facilities. Good fun student union. Jesters is there which is obviously the best part of soton uni but it's not part of soton uni

Continual work to improtthe campus is being carried out, marketing is a course being continuously improved too. The career services are useful for getting part time work and also placement year work.
