Hey guys, i hope you don't mind me shouting about a brand new community driven independent market i'm bringing to Southampton. The market will launch on Sunday 24th May, and then run every third sunday of the month until September, with the hope to launch a night market until Christmas.

It will be situated on Carlton Place (Bedford Place), a padestrianised street since COVID suited to thriving community driven events. The market will be focussed on independent makers, artists and vintage/flea market sellers. We are collaborating with Flo from Flo's Vintage Flea, she is running this side of the market. We also have some established traders involved in the city like Mettricks brand new bakery in Portswood, Vinilo Records, Trenz barbers (kids braids and face paints!), Claudia & B from Winchester (Floritstry), and many more.

The market will feature a suitcase stall section, where people can come from home with a suitcase and sell their unwanted items to a new home. As well as this, we will have coffee, nibbles, ice cream, and kids activities.

All the best! x

Hi!! I’m a year 13 student and I’m trying to pick my firm and insurance choice right now! I’m trying to figure out whether I prefer UCL or Southampton right now.

I do very much prefer the course in Southampton, especially with the fact that the course here is with the EEE school which is amazing. But I feel like living here would get super boring in comparison to UCL, so I did have some questions!!

What is living in Southampton like? What are the accommodation experiences like? I’m living here for 5-6 years so I don’t want to suffer through them
What’s the teaching here like? I won’t lie I got some dodgy answers from when I asked LOL
I saw the facilities look excellent, is there anything else I should know about them!
What’s the foundation year like?
Anything else I should know I’d love to hear!

Thank you for your time!

I'm joining University of Southampton to pursue Masters in Computer Science and have applied for accommodation in student halls through the university portal for Sept 2026 intake. However, I've also gotten in touch with an agency and they advise that student halls are mostly prioritised for national residents (since they don't face Visa issues) and that my accommodation could also possibly get sidelined/delayed and that prices could go up 30% by the time I get one. Is this really true and should I consider booking accommodation through them? Would appreciate any input, thank you!

I am an Indian with following options

1. UoS Malaysia (2+2) in Aeronautical engineering

2. University of Bristol (Engineering Mathematics)

3. University of Bristol (Design Engineering)

Please advise me pros and cons of each course

Ofcourse the Soton Malaysia pathway is cost effective and ticks all boxes with respect to department, Accreditation and recognition of the Degree.

1. Give me the shortcomings of the Malaysia campus and faculty and facilities if any

2 How easy is securing Internship in UK in year 3 or year 4 especially for international transfer student?

3. Looking for branching into Aeronautical Engineering and preferably Aerodynamics side of the studies in yr 3. Are they having good career opportunities in UK?

4. How is the Aerospace department in Soton UK and how difficult was the ramp fro year 2 to year 3 from Malaysia to UK

Hey!! 👋

Can any medical student can share their experience with hospital accommodation?

How is Southampton for Aeronautics and Astronautics MEng? Im struggling to decide between bristol and Southampton so whats the course like and just the overall experience?

Hi folks

Not sure where else to post regarding this, so posting here.

I'm looking for a place to move in and found this really good one - tenancy starting approx mid July and is at Bedford place/polygon. It's 5 bed but we're only 2, so we're looking for 3 others.

Hopefully professionals within the age range of 21-35, keeps the common spaces clean.

We're currently two postgraduate students, graduating within the next 3-4 months, and then we'll be liable to pay the council tax too.

If anyone's interested in this place, please dm I'll share the details.
