The facilities and the course is very well set out and of high quality. The student union has all the facilities necessary and a wide range of extracurricular activities.

The campus is lovely, my lectures are beautiful and i need some condoms - as the social side is also fun

Campus is good. Gym facilities run like a corporate company, not something for student. Course is good level of difficult. Student union is not used nearly enough for nights out. The stags is good though. Careers is goood but the organisation is overpaid and caters as a business, not a higher learning establishment, VP is paid over 400k

Yummy food on campus and cheap english breakfast. Library good for studying and looks well pretty. Karaoke at union is fun. Some of the buildings are looking a bit run down but there’s lots of green on campus which is cute. Sweet swimming pool.

Good teaching quality and faculty facilities. Lacking in the sports department more than anything else. Also an actual students union club rather than bar would be great.

Happy with all the facilities. The degree(Computer Science) is very good. You learn a lot about many technologies.

Compared to other universities Southampton is terrible. The sport facilities and prices for them are awful, the buildings on campus are hiddeous and it's filled with lefty moaning morons.

The campus is really nice - trees everywhere and even has a river running through it. As a second year I know my way around the campus well but it's not so large that you would find it difficult until after a couple of weeks in first year. The main problem on campus is the library. As the university's student population has expanded over the last few years, there have been little developments to increase the space within the library. Construction has begun on a new 'learning hub' but this won't be completed for quite a few years, by which time I will hopefully have graduated.

I don’t really want to be a marine biologist any more after the first 3 years on doing said degree; 90% bullshit and plankton and the odd 10% genuinely interesting stuff. SUSU is shit, guess the facilities are decent, towns great, people are great, party scene/night out is great

Love the course but more contact hours would be good, need drop in classes to help with assignments. The student union is pants, no events, very apolitical.

The city of Southampton is absolutely gorgeous with great nightlife. As for the university, the structure of the day is pretty convenient, and the layout of the campus and the room system makes sense. Lecturers are generally very friendly and helpful, and the student union is absolutely brilliant!

This University is better than I could imagine. The level here is very high, I am speaking about the lectures, campus, students and even the bus stop. It is a great place to study your module but also learn languages and about new cultures.

Highfield Campus is great, green spaces and lots of trees. Avenue campus is quiet. Marine Biology is a brilliant course, lots of practical labs and boat sessions. Student union is improving and has lots to offer including a student housing team. Careers service is really good, lots of advice and help sessions available.

I love the uni, the campus is great with loads of facilities. The gym is good although just very busy. I love my course (medicine) it’s just hard and v content heavy. Student union is good, although it would be nice to organise more socials/nights in the union.

Good campus Great support network Ok accommodation but it is very annoying when you have to get to campus for 9 as the bus might be a bit late and busy which can be really annoying

Facilities are good, sports could be improved as it's very expensive and so people miss out on opportunities. More activities that appeal to more students should be readily available and advertised accordingly

Decent facilities, halls were a bit shitty but decent enough, student union has a nice cinema, my course is good with good facilities for CS students. Good time so far.

Great city, everything is close and easy to get to. University facilities are mostly very modern and good. Course is intense and lots of work, mostly volume of work and volume to learn that can be challenging rather than the complexity. Student union good in Thursdays for karaoke!!!

Great city, everything is really close and easy to get to. Uni facilities are mostly modern and up to date. Wide lane sports ground can get water logged quite easily but otherwise very good. Course is intense, volume of work and content to learn more challenging that difficulty in understanding. Student union great on Thursdays for karaoke!!!

The course is just long. Wouldn't recommend Civil Engineering unless you truly know you are fit for the task and healthy enough to complete and ECG test beforehand. Stress levels will be tested to the limit and most future students will suffer a mental breakdown weekly. Also campus buildings are not ordered as would you expect, chronologically. Thus you will be late for all lectures and undoubtedly fail with crippling debt and a lost sense of emotion. However, I would genuinely recommened the uni for its top staff and teaching academia. Further, the university of Southampton really places you ahead most other students at other top unis in terms of career services. Second year Civil Engineer.

The campus is very beautiful. I really enjoy my course, the teaching staff are great. However, the student union is not very inclusive and make many decisions without the views of students.

I really enjoy the cafes/food outlets on campus and feel the support is very good. The careers office was another excellent service and helped me with cv writing as well as looking for a career that may suit my skills
