A fun, immersive, and intensive experience.

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 prepare for assignments/exams.

Dislikes (Internships): There are various internship opportunities available, but they are mostly for Bachelor's students. Finding one for an M.Sc. student can be time-consuming, but it is possible. Nowadays, it is hard to find a job that provides sponsorship. Luckily, one can still work here after graduation with their Postgraduate Work Visa for two years. That gives one time to decide what exactly to do.

Opportunistic, growth, and fun loving with academic focused.

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.

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 top 100 universities in the world and also Russell Group university. Also, the cost of living in Southampton is relatively less than other cities and it has all the required amenities.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If you have around 3 to 5 years of prior experience, then it's relatively easy to get a job with a Skilled Worker visa. Once you complete 5 years on that, you can get permanent residency. However, I am not planning to settle in the UK and have different priorities.

Great environment, but course experience varies.

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 I enjoy the country and environment, my satisfaction with the university and course depends on the specific subject - mine hasn't fully met expectations yet.

Likes (Public transportation): 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 navigate the city and access essential areas like shopping centres, train stations, and student accommodation.

Dislikes (Student Life): Although the university offers a vibrant and diverse range of events and clubs, it can sometimes feel overwhelming due to the sheer volume of activities- many of which require paid entry. My typical day involves attending lectures, which can be routine, but I enjoy unwinding at the sports complex, especially at the gym or on the badminton court. The campus hosts frequent cultural, social, and networking events, and while I do participate occasionally, I prefer to be selective. With over 200 student societies- from photography and entrepreneurship to badminton- there is something for everyone, though some clubs can be quite capital-intensive.

University of Southampton is a great university with highly qualified faculty.

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 to the less demanding course, I could complete two internships during the second and third semesters. I personally love living and working in the UK.

Likes (Internships): The ECS department at University of Southampton has an active Placement Office and cell that sends out at least two emails per day, often for new roles or jobs. The officer also hosts talks with various companies, such as giants like Apple and Google as well as niche markets such as McLaren and Alpine. There are also some offers from small-scale companies. The University of Southampton Internship Portals has a lot of internship offers. I applied for and completed an internship there, but then I also got another internship from a company that a placement officer sent. For me, internships went great, and I'm not the only one – some of my friends got internships through this portal, too.

Dislikes (Value for money): The course was all theory, and especially for subjects like Web and mobile application development, we expected some hands-on lab sessions in our curriculum, which was unfortunately not possible. The ECS department at University of Southampton does not provide any scholarships, so the fee that I paid which is 28,000 GBP was somewhat on the higher end than what the course offered.

Know what you want to achieve and do your own research.

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.

Likes (Public transportation): The university has its own buses that are well-connected with the entire city. The frequency is good as well. The bus transport may be a bit costly, depending on your frequency of travel. However, there are cycle and electric scooters freely available around the city; simply download the app and use them. They are much more affordable than the bus.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee for my course isn't justified from my perspective. I had some prior working knowledge of my field, and I expected to upskill myself. However, I didn't get to learn much from the course itself. For M.Sc. for semester 1, there are just 2/2.5 months of teaching before the Christmas vacation arrives, post which you have your exams. Then the same for semester 2, 2/2.5 months of teaching, then vacation, and then exams. After that, you have to work only on your final project, no college after your 2nd semester. One can learn so much more by opting for hands-on courses in your own country than paying so much more and not getting the quality in return. Generally, people who are suffering here will still post all good things on social media, which misleads those students who are deciding whether they should come to the UK for higher education. Do your own research and then decide. The only thing that is the MVP here is the value of the degree from here, since this university has a good international rating.
