All good with me with no flaws.
The campus is nice and has nice facilities.
I really enjoy my uni experience
The property is good. Cleanliness is on point. Good staff
Great university to study at, endless opportunities. Beautiful campus. Great sports facilities. 10/10 would recommend!
Great university, great place for international students
Depending on what subjects you are studying facilities can be great or ok
IT service and staff are mega helpful. The student hub and staff always find time as well at the admin and finance department are also supportive.
All the campuses are well maintained and all staff are normally very accommodating.
The University of Southampton is a good university with an interesting History course and solid support from the careers services, but the Student Union really elevates the experience, providing a number of regular events to make people feel included.
Average uni, nothing special or anything to complain about.
Good faculties and students’ support
The University of Southampton is a really nice place to be with lots of green space for walking and it’s so easy to make friends with the great number of societies on offer. If you need anything you can email someone and any problems you have get sorted easy.
Great place for students. Nice courses
A good university, plenty of societies to join and wonderful community
Great for students who fit in to the stereotype of a "classic uni student" (extroverted, drinker, only half-focussed on academics)
the campus has a lot of greenery, it is very peaceful. plentiful of societies. not too many events by the student union. great facilities and teaching staff
Good university, but not that convenient for me. So many information I cannot get easily
Great and responsive student hub and a beautiful campus
Great facilities, really good curriculum
I am in the NOCS which belongs to the University of Southampton. A really outstanding research center with good ambiance
There are many career services marketed but the actually quality of the support is quite disappointing.
Good facilities, lovely campus, and many different societies to join.
Lovely university with a big library and lots of cafes and food spots. so much gorgeous green space too
My time at Southampton has been enjoyable. I have taken advantage of the opportunities such as events and careers advice.
Despite its strong reputation, the university lacks systems that would better support students in balancing work and study. For example, there is no effective notification system to alert students when coursework or assignments are released, which platform they are on, and when they are due. Additionally, the institution has not fully adopted modern assessment methods, as exams are still primarily conducted on paper rather than using more up-to-date, digital approaches.
My current experience in this university has been excellent, as one of the international students I feel like I never left my home.
Nice campus, good environment, nice library
Miss katy is very kind. Thank a lot for her helping：）The environment is so good。
The university provides a great learning environment with supportive staff and excellent facilities. It is a wonderful place to study and grow academically.
Great campus, love spending time there. The library has great services and there’s lots of places to hang out and eat
Really enjoyed. Good place to stay
I like this university, and also this city. If possible, I'd like to work here.
The reception is great，especially Chole, Louise, and Amy. They’re always so welcoming when I pick up packages. Really makes my day.
I think everything is great it is important for my careers and future
just great everybody is the best，
Great experience here, lovely staff, amazing teachers
I love being at university, it is a great experience
Amazing clubs and societies + all problems have a solution as there is always someone to help
The university is generally not a bad place. It is well known in aspects of research and some of the great professors in the world have been here so the content is really well structured. The nationalities are still minimum ie a few africans but I haven't really faced any issue of racism
Nice overall living experience. The room is clean and well-equipped, and the location is convenient for students.
I found it very easy to find a society i liked, and I feel the university does a good job providing support and areas for studying and socialising
The environment is beautiful and the facilities are very modern. The teachers are all very patient and friendly. There is a strong connection between the school and the students, and there are many activities and opportunities to help students improve themselves and develop their careers.
Everything is good 💯. Overall it was a good experience
I've had a nice experience there.
4/5 experience overall. Student hub is very useful
Pleasant experience ! Great lecture rooms and facilities and lecturers are helpful
Very happy here, have many interesting clubs to join but their sports are unnecessarily expensive and require a lot of passes for the gym and insurance. The student hub is great but way easier to get a response in person than over email.
I quite like my university its diverse and tons of opportunities
A great university with amazing facilities
The labs and lecture halls are up to very high standards and I’ve really enjoyed studying there.
First year but so far nothing to complain about at all there’s constant emails updating about SU activities and what they are doing including events to help make friends, my society is great and was a great way of making friends. 24/7 support has always answered my queries quickly.
The university is giving a great student experience from all points of view
Great Experience overall, Im amazed as ro the standards theyve shown
Overall, good university to study
I’m in the Winchester campus and there’s not much facilities in Winchester , I would be really nice if the uni can have more facilities around
perfect communication for roommates
Outstanding and state-of-the-art campus and facilities for study and leisure purposes. Many excellent clubs and societies to join, to find new friends and pursue hobbys and interests.
The full experience is very good!
The accommodation was very good and the staff were very friendly, always willing to help with various matters. It was truly touching.
Overall, it's not bad. The school facilities are quite complete and they often hold some very interesting activities.
The institute offers excellent facilities, and the faculty is largely outstanding, with only a few exceptions. The teaching methodology effectively combines theoretical foundations, real-world business cases, and practical learning approaches. Industrial visits are well planned, and simulation-based learning further enhances practical understanding. Beyond academics, there are numerous student communities and committees to explore, with events and activities happening regularly at different levels, ensuring continuous engagement. The campus location is beautiful and provides a highly conducive environment for focused study and overall development. The primary challenge, however, lies in placements. Students are largely required to secure placements independently, which can be demanding and requires proactive effort.
The teaching quality is generally guaranteed; the teachers have a high level of theoretical knowledge and are very patient and responsible towards their students. We are usually quite busy with our studies, and we have a lot of homework. Discussions with the teachers in class are challenging, but we are very engaged and happy! Business, engineering, computer science, and statistics majors in Nan'an are generally quite demanding and stressful.
Studying at the University of Southampton has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and four key aspects have made my time here truly exceptional: the campus facilities, clubs and societies, the Students’ Union (SU), and careers support—all of which I’d rate a perfect five stars. The campus facilities are state-of-the-art; I’ve loved using the modern study spaces and leisure areas, which make balancing coursework and downtime so easy. Then there are the clubs and societies—I joined a photography club and a sports team, and they’ve let me meet amazing friends who share my interests, turning the campus into a second home. The SU is a total highlight too: it’s super organised, runs fun events nonstop, and always has my back if I need support. Finally, the careers service has been invaluable. They’ve given me personalised advice, connected me to internships, and helped me map out my career path—something I really appreciate as an international student.
The school boasts comprehensive facilities and abundant educational resources. You can watch replays of each class and communicate with excellent professors online. There are also numerous laboratories and computer rooms, making it very convenient to conduct experiments and complete assignments on campus. The scenery of the school is also breathtaking. Overall, studying at the University of Southampton is an excellent experience.
Studying and living at the University of Southampton is just so comfortable. There are delicious dining halls and supermarkets available for students from all over the world, and the prices are very reasonable. The teachers are humorous and interesting in class but also very strict in teaching. They reply to emails quickly and offer patient and detailed guidance. There are many convenient buses on campus, including discounted night buses. The campus is filled with flowers, trees, and benches, creating a very pleasant environment. All public areas are very clean and the students are very friendly.
Im enjoying this uni, everything is great
Good university campus but nothing too special
Love the societies and socials they do
I really like the campus environment; there's lots of greenery that makes it comfortable. My favorite building is the library.
Great housing, helpful staff, amazing socials and excellent food/ snacks
It's really good I like like it
The University of Southampton has a stunning campus with lots of historic architecture and offers amazing events to always keep you busy,many of the teachers and lecturers are at the pinnacle of their profession and often have an impact on the wider learning of the industry they teach.
“The University of Southampton has excellent facilities with modern study spaces and reliable Wi-Fi across campus. The students’ union is active and welcoming, offering a wide range of societies and events for everyone. Overall, it’s a great environment for both academic and social life.”
Very good University, lecturers know what they are doing, lots of facilities including a large gym, a pharmacy and groceries are all within 5 minutes of walking in campus, there are LOTS of buses with a great system and with the Unilink app you can travel all around Southampton. That does need Internet so mobile data is necessary if you're not in campus though. Overall a very good Uni, would recommend
Great Uni with great potential
Very well maintained, awesome proffesors
I’ve been at ONCAMPUS for about 3 weeks now, and it’s been a great start. The staff are helpful, the classes are well-organized, and everything feels really supportive so far. It’s been easy to settle in, and I’ve already met some great people. Still early days, but I’m feeling positive and looking forward to what’s next.
could do better in every aspects
The WSA campus is just beautiful with ducks and more wildlife surrounding it. As the WSA campus is in Winchester it feels like we are often forgotten about by the SU, we have very little societies and clubs.
i absolutely love it here, the buildings and outside areas are super pretty and the staff are incredibly friendly and i love everything about it this was the perfect choice - the only issue is the wifi isnt that great, its not privatised for uni students so anyone in the public area can use it so when its especially busy the wifi is super slow which is annoying in lectures other than that i love everything
Good uni! Russell Group, highly respected, looked at by employers! Wonderful
University life has greatly improved my mental health. It’s a very positive environment in a great city.
It is a beautiful university with a helpful staff. I never feel left out, and the lecturers really know how to deliver lessons interestingly. The academic support is just amazing!
pretty good uni, no complaints
Great uni - has everything you could ever want! (Except a beach, but Bournemouth isn’t too far…) great course and best uni for variety of societies!!
Perfect college experience. I hope I can achieve both academic and career improvement and success in this year, and have an unforgettable experience
As an international student, my experience at the University of Southampton has been positive overall. The campus and facilities are very good — everything is well-maintained and easily accessible, with not much to complain about. There are many excellent clubs and societies to join, which makes it easy to meet new people and explore different hobbies and interests. The Students’ Union is decent and does its job, though it’s nothing particularly special compared to other universities. The Careers Service is a real strength here. They go above and beyond to support students with placements, graduate jobs, and further study opportunities. Their advice and resources are genuinely helpful. The internet and Wi-Fi on campus are generally good enough for studying, and any issues that arise tend to be resolved in a reasonable time. Overall, the University of Southampton offers a strong student experience, especially in terms of career support and extracurricular opportunities.
I think the teaching facilities of the school are very advanced, and the campus environment is also very nice. There are numerous clubs here, and I really like and am satisfied with it. There are also courses on career planning. However, I feel that the number of job opportunities provided in the field of music is relatively small. I hope more such positions can be added.
A pleasant campus that holds an excellent library. Low-key spend my weekend evenings there.
The number of societies is fantastic. The library is a great place to study and the campus is really pretty.
Honestly a solid university with loads of opportunities for everyone to fit in :)
Amazing and inclusive university!
Great student unions very welcoming and helpful and the students hub are also very helpful
Yes the uni is good and the accom is good too
I only just moved in at the university and I have enjoyed my time here
