University of Southampton Reviews & Ratings ,,UK

Tips: There are a lot of scholarship opportunities available for students here. I was lucky enough to receive a full scholarship from the university to study here. It was difficult to adapt to the British culture at first, but over time, with the help of friends and peers, it started feeling like a 2nd home! Overall, I am genuinely glad I took the decision to study abroad in this particular university and country.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is fantastic here. The University puts a lot of effort into making each and every student feel comfortable. It organises numerous events like Colour run, graduation ball, Painting, sports activities, Karaoke Thursdays, pool activities, and so much more. My typical day in college looks like - attending classes, roaming around on campus and participating in fun activities during break, having lunch with my friends, attending more classes, and heading to the library in the evening to ...

Tips: Students should do their own research because everyone has different preferences. There are scholarships, and there are lots of cultural societies to join that provide opportunities for networking. I am very satisfied with the University of Southampton. Country-wise, it depends on where you will live further, but I would always recommend a major city because they have the most opportunities.

Likes (Value for money): Considering the fees for my course I feel it was worth it as you will be getting a degree from one of the ...

Tips: The transition was mostly smooth, with a few initial hurdles and a slight cultural shift. I received a small automatic scholarship from the university upon applying. While the campus is very well connected to the rest of the city by frequent buses and trains, the cost can be quite high for students. A daily bus pass is around 35, and an annual pass can go up to 3400, which may not be affordable for everyone. Despite the cost, the convenience and reliability of public transport make it easy to na...

Tips: The transition was smoother than expected. A suggestion is to try to decide your flatmates before you come here, living with friends will help with homesickness and overall, a better life abroad. There was no scholarship for the ECS Department at the University of Southampton. I did, however, complete two part-time paid technical internships that helped me with my cost of living. The course was decent; I expected a bit more from it, but overall, the facilities provided were very good. And thanks...

Tips: Vegetarians/Vegans may have a hard time after coming here initially. Once they figure out the food they want, it gets better. People who don't like partying and drinking may have to go out and put some effort into finding the people who vibe with them, as partying and drinking culture is dominant here. The course is okay, the university is good, and the country is good during summers, but in winters, it can get depressing due to the bad weather. The university has its own buses that are well-co...

Tips: I'm happy with the course I took at the University of Southampton. However, I was disappointed with the lack of job opportunities. If you are considering this university, be prepared to put in extra effort. Study the previous year's papers and understand the exam pattern. Faculty members will help you if you ask. Also, scholarships are available for business-related courses but are rare for engineering courses.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very well connected to major parts of the city. The ticket pr...
