UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

Student Reviewer - February 2024

The best experience that I have had in my University life is the resources that are available at our disposal to us. We have so many facilities and faculty members are always ready to help and guide us when we need any help. The worst experience would be my Halls life. Currently, I am living in University halls and City Gateway in particular. I had requested diversified classmates which would have been fun, because that way I would have connected with several different cultures and would have been able to learn so many new things but my current flat has international students from one country and I am the only Indian one. Those people are nice but I cannot be feeling more out of the place. They always speak in their own language and are always hanging out in each other's room. sometimes I just feel alone here, like I have no one to talk to because there is a huge language barrier. My other friends who are in different flats have diversified flatmates and are enjoying more but as our courses are different I find it hard to hang out with them as well. So, it seems I have been secluded. I had informed the students hub about my problem but they were like we cannot do anything now. If I was not facing this problem I would have been able to enjoy my student life to the fullest. read full review
Actually,Few people. Both of the students and the teachers in the university is really friendly. And our school provides us with many ways to participate in projects and activities. I think what I like most is that it provides us with many different ways to experience life. We can take advantage of these opportunities to experience our life that we have never thought of before and gain some different experiences, which will help us a lot in our future employment life. read full review
The lecturers are great for Music, lots of transport to the University, different areas of campus currently being renovated read full review
Everything about learning is very good, the teacher is very patient and teaching is also good. The worst experience is the lack of a school bus, and sometimes it's very inconvenient to commute between Winchester and Southampton. read full review
Very nice campuses, lots of green spaces which is nice (especially on Highfield). Diverse community with lots of different cultures which is nice. Prices are reasonable (much less than London prices). Recommend for student life and also work life (e.g., for PhD students or other researchers). Lots of places to visit in surrounding areas (e.g., New Forest) and an easy train journey away from London if you want to visit. Quality of supervisors for PhD projects is great (based on my experience). Different food and coffee options are available on campus (e.g., SU shop, canteens, Costa, Prett, Chinese restaurant, etc). Only comment would be price of food could be reduced (especially at SU shop, where prices for drinks are now £2+. Recommend the uni as a whole. read full review
Really like the flexibility of my PhD post and opportunity to work with PGRs across the University. My supervisors are excellent and the facilities at the Uni are great. Everyone is very helpful and I've always found an answer to any questions. The Doctoral college here is awesome.

Worst aspects don't necessarily have to do with the university, it's more about life as a postgraduate researcher. It's difficult and can be lonely at times, but luckily there's a great community here. read full review
