I wish that I would have known that there are plenty of houses available to rent and that it is no problem to find accommodation there.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Choose courses which aren't that much work in order to engage more in social life which is more important to improve your language skills.

Travel tip: with Megabus, you can get a return trip to London in a coach for £2.5! Which means you could go there every week end! Don't miss Stonehenge, the Isle of Wigth, Winchester and New Forest.

“Review on University of Southampton”
Honor S
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Language, 2018
Overall
The languages faculty in Southampton are an extremely close-knit, supportive group of teachers who offer their students plenty of academic as well as emotional support throughout their degree course. The actual course of study allow students to choose from a wide range of topics, helping them to develop not only their language proficiency but also their knowledge of the respective countries' culture, politics, history and current affairs. I also completed a year abroad in Freiburg, Germany during my studies and I received a lot of help and support from my uni in order to help me settle in comfortably to the new environment. Given a lot of preparation for year abroad help prior to leaving as well, with weekly lectures about how to deal with admin as well as guidance on the research projects we had to write whilst on our year abroad. Great experience at Southampton Uni.

The University of Southampton offers is a great research-intensive institution that offers extensive student support and continuously raises awareness of social and environmental issues making it much more than just an educational institution. The lecturers and researchers truly care about the quality of delivery and study material and the university staff are actively involved in bettering students' mental and physical health. The campus is conveniently close to main student halls. The University of Southampton has an overall feeling of community and belonging for international students.

I wish I had known...
That the weather was so bad in England ! No, I am joking, I knew it before, but it was sometimes difficult to cope with it, especially because I had to ride my bike 20 min to go to the University from my hall of residence, so when it was raining or snowing, it was a bit difficult to be motivated ...

It is a very big University and it is a real change compared to french Engineering schools or universities. You will have the opportunity to live a real campus, and to be part of lots of activities depending on what you like.
