It is an exceptional accommodation,not because of the facilities, but because of the staff, their dedication, warmth, and readiness to assist has always left a sense of calm. Their professionalism and genuine care elevate this place beyond just a building to live in. A heartfelt thank you to all of them.

The careers service are great and always send great resources about graduate opportunities. I feel comfortable enough to contact them with any queries I have. The campus has a great feel too and all the buildings are unique which I really like! However I still feel there is room for improvement from the Student Union, I am never aware of any events being held and my friends at other universities have had a lot more interaction with their student union. Furthermore, I have joined societies and although in my first year they were great, nothing came of my subscription in my second year which was disappointing (Law Society).

Portsmouth Uni is good enough just to do the basics of a degree. If you have a problem weither it’s personal or academic, don’t expect them to do anything. My friend got bullied extremely due to the fact they had autism and adhd to the point they are unable to go to uni nor leave their place. The uni didn’t help they made it worse and only saw it from one point even with clear substantial evidence of discrimination bullying. My friend ended up dropping out due to the horrendous behaviour of the uni and the students.

I will say in terms of the course I’m studying which is mechanical engineering the teachers are actually helpful socially jovana which she is the head of the department, she will do whatever she can to make you pass the course only if you are committed to it of course. I will say the university was good for me because the buildings are not far from each other and the library is close to the building too and it has all you need.

The University of Portsmouth has been a great university for me to come to. I'm very happy I chose it, I was worried initially it might have not been the right choice but my fear soon settled when I got to know people and accelerated into my course. I also got involved in extra curriculum activities which made the rough times a lot better.

I haven’t used the careers department yet, I plan on using it next year. The lecturers, I’ve only ever had a problem with the content taught once, other than that, they’re good at what they do, they teach really well, facilities are great, laptops can be borrowed very easily. They make sure that all assignments are very well known, they’ve got a moodle web page that has course information, assignments and what you are studying, so everything in one place. Well-being is a solid 4/5. Clubs are great, I’ll be bias and say for meeting people a sports club is a great way to do so. And yeah, when you join, sports clubs cost money so don’t join every one of those, but most societies are free, even if you only have slight interest, just join them, join the discord servers too and you’ll meet people fast as long as you engage with socials.

I don’t like the city campus concept. However, it is easy to reach everywhere on foot. Portsmouth is a good city to be a student but a bad city to build a life. It was impossible to find a part-time job. That’s why I gave 3 stars to Careers and Employability. On the other hand they run good events and workshops. Clubs and societes are not functional. They just want to drink and go out. Student’s Union is there but I don’t know what they are doing, ınternet is excellent and teaching is good and democratic.

The worst university I have ever been. Some academic staff work based on the connections without any scientific knowledge. The poor science is transferred to the students by those staff. The research quality is below average.

Is the best student accommodation in the whole world, the employees are very sweet, understanding, always smiling and ready to listen and give any service. I am prepare to recommend Chaucer House to other students planning to come to uni, especially travelling from my country Belgium. Please keep up the good work Chaucer House!
