    It's really interesting to hear the viewpoint of someone who is from London and living in Southampton. I have lived here all my life and one thing I would say to anyone of colour is that this is one of the safest cities around. I can remember going out of Southampton to Winchester and Eastleigh and those are places where you really do feel your colour. Living in Southampton people are aware of your culture and respect you regardless of your ethnicity. Unfortunately, it is not a planned city so you have parks right slap bang in the middle of the city. There are loadsa of nightlife here! especially in around the marine area its all built new. Overall a great place to live. My kids are in Uni in other cities and literally miss the city because the vibe isn't the same.

    all female students should be warned about walking through the city parks late at night. Why they aren't better lit with 24hr CCTV, or patrolled constantly after all the attacks i don't know. As a dad it really worries me. never use them as a short cut.

Now I am doing my masters which I am enjoying so much more and just got my first graduate role at my company. Hope you are enjoying your time at Southampton. One thing I miss about the uni is that the campus is beautiful!

I was in Bournemouth and I enjoyed it :) I can tell Southampton has the good stuff - great location, sunny days, chilled vibes and clean area. I like it :) I could hear your London accent, although sometimes I could not understand, but most part of your video was understandable :) Thanks again :)

    this was sooo helpful! I've been looking for so long for more information about Southampton because I'm applying to come next year and couldn't find anything. i put the uni as main choice and i was starting to regret bc I literally didn't know anything else about this city besides its close to Portsmouth and Bournemouth beaches(which I love) and somehow close to London. Are people who aren't students allowed to ride the unilink bus too, the one you have free acess too or is it only students? I especially love that it's not as busy as London, I'm coming from a busy city too and I can't wait to get rid of the traffic and all that. What are some nice places to hang out outside there? Is it sunnier than in Manchester or London for example?The weather seems good, is it really rainy and gloomy? Thank you

    Marie heyy and I’m glad you found it helpful. If you live in the student accommodation provided by the Uni, you get a free unilink bus pass, which means you can get on the busses for free for a year. Even if you aren’t a student you can still use unilink buses they are open to the public. Southampton is generally dry and sunny, sometimes we get rain but I’d say it’s not as frequent as London or Manchester c

    Hey, thank you for the video! Very informative :) I was going to apply for a MSc. In general nursing at Southampton university but I have decided not to. I am looking for job roles with my BSc. In Nursing and I am looking for a change and I liked the look of Southampton and still want to move there to work. I'm coming from Dublin. It's quite a small city but big in terms of population (not as big as London!! No where near) and I like how small Dublin is and not fast paced. It is...quite culturally diverse now than ever before. Like there's a good amount of black people, Asian etc. I was concerned about cultural diversity in Southampton. So glad that was answered. However, what are people like? What is it like working in Southampton? Is salary generally good (depending on job of course). I don't plan on working in the hospital (I'm a learning disability student nurse - graduation and registration soon). Looking for jobs in healthcare offices/clinics that hire RN's and willing to provide additional training. Also, is the cost of rent for like a studio apartment/flat okay in Southampton would you know? Thank you! 😊

    Marisia Stavrinidou always a hard one, both pretty accommodation with similar prices, it all about what you prioritise. Glen Eyre is extremely close to campus (Highfield) like 5mins walk, Mayflower is dead in the city centre with all the shops, clubs etc. It’s really up to you and what you want in an acom. Hope this helps :)

And there's a free shuttle from WSA to Southampton but it doesn't run late enough to take part fully in societies. the Society fare was also lame as heck at WSA lol, it made have been because of Covid though. I also had SO much trouble getting into halls in southampton (rather than Winchester) because I studied in Winchester, so WSA students are kinda doomed to being a bit out of the loop. Sorry I don't know much about the fashion marketing and branding course, I'm studying Graphic Arts :) I think it's a good campus, there are just downsides to it being in Winchester.
