Hi, I got accepted for the Meng Software Engineering with industrial studies for the 2026 September intake as an international student

I have an offer for software engineering from Monash university, and I like their teaching style a bit more than Southampton ( as it's more practical than theoretical ). And also it's higher in global ranking by a ton. But what's giving Southampton the edge right now is that I get a whole year of experience. So can anyone share their stories/opinions on their placement year, and how likely is it t get in with a big company that will boost your CV greatly?

Also how big is the communities for like building games getting into hackathons and such?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Maheshwaran from Tamil Nadu, India. I’ll be joining the University of Southampton for the September 2026 intake for MSc Business Analytics and Management Science.

Is anyone from Tamil Nadu or India joining the same course/intake? Also, if anyone is already in Southampton, I’d really appreciate connecting with you and getting some advice about accommodation, travel, part-time jobs and student life.

Would be great to connect with you guys! 😊🇮🇳

I’ve sent an email regarding my tuition fees in UoS and I still haven’t received any reply from the fee classification teams…

Hi.

I'm from India, and I will be starting my M.Sc. Data Science @ the University of Southampton this September (to be specific, I will be starting my course in the September 2026 intake).

I applied for a few of the university halls and luckily got an offer for an enhanced studio flat @ Glen Eyre, which I accepted a while back.

Even though I looked at the website for what is included in the room/flat, I was wondering if anyone currently living there, or anyone who has stayed in an enhanced studio flat before, could lmk what exactly is included in the room/flat?

I was mainly wondering about these things:
- Kitchen Appliances. What appliances are already present in the room?
- Bedding/Mattress. Should we buy one there, or is that already included?
- Anything else that is provided with the room?

I'm trying to figure out what I actually need to bring/buy once I'm there, so any info about the room/flat would be really appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi! Im a student going into her first year of my course at southampton. Unforunately the school told me that they can only offer my the accom on winchester which i am very disappointed at. Though now im looking for places to rent near the uni. Are they any housing agencies that previous students or current students have went through or recommend. I've seen a lot of negative things about PoshPads, other agencies i looked at after researching (cryers, apple lettings, city estates, field palmer, brambles) all have housing that the let is alrdy agreed or its not the perfect amount of rooms im looking for.

I have been mainly looking sites like rightmove and unihomes and have seen kings estate a lot and yourmove lettings. As a first year should i just go with those agencies that ive seenn on rightmove and unihomes and push through it or still search for an agency that will be good

I’ve been looking for a part time job since April I wasn’t able to get a job over the summer and spent the whole time sitting at home like a chud and my SFE barely covers my rent so I’d just like to know (off campus) how I can get a job. Everyone wants experience which I don’t have and aren’t willing to train me 😔 What jobs did you work as a soton student?

Hi guys! Does anyone want to swap my studio with their shared accommodation?

Thank you x

Apparently all the accommodations are full although freshers are guaranteed to have one… now im looking at private accommodations (£300+ pw WTF) or the one in Winchester…..

Is anyone in the same position as me😭 what are your plans

Has anyone gotten their allocated rooms?? I’m so stressed out and have emailed them but they haven’t responded yet. And I’m assuming move in starts 12th when the lease begins, has anyone received a move in slot link?
Thanks ✌️

Got into Soton via clearing - just found out the clearing accommodation offer is in Winchester, which wasn't even 5th choice despite applying within 1 day of results.

Could someone explain the issues, is it temporary, will there be more available in the 1st year and a move possible?

Pretty panicked now as not sure commuting from Winchester is an option. Only other option would be a studio but this is massively out of budget!

i’ve been told by some people they’re a bit of a scam and also that it’s not worth it, but I’m unsure as I’ve seen quite a few people apparently buy them

Hey everyone,

Looking to see if anyone knows of non student union events, and group chats, etc., for first years trying to network a bit prior to the big events. Any info would be helpful! Also, are the all inclusive passes a scam? I’ve been told my friends from other schools that they’re a waste of money but I’d like to hear input from others as well. Lastly, is there a list of groups for places of accommodation? Thanks so much!!!

Has anyone who has applied to Southampton crossings accom received any further updates or info?

Are there any gc’s for soton electrical/electronic engineering students or just anyone else who is going to study it this year who would want to reach out!

Lowkey not in any freshers or any gc as I don’t know where to find them so would appreciate anyone pointing me in right direction or who want to talk

To anyone who was living there last year or recently, is there anything I should know? Or prepare for/bring specifically? How many people share a bathroom in the standard rooms? I’ve heard there’s silverfish is that true? I got into Southampton through clearing so haven’t seen the accom irl so any info would be great 🤞🏽

Does anyone else have problems finding where to book there arrival slot for the accom this year, I’ve done the induction thing and I should be able to book my slot today as it says via email I received
