University of Southampton versus Southampton Solent University

Wow, very compelling argument there.

In terms of traditional Uni Courses then UoS is much better. If you want something more vocational or just an easy ride then go to Solent

I wouldn't say that.
I'm not at either of these Universities, and don't doubt for a second that UoS is academically stronger by quite some distance.

But I mean, if say an Art & Design student wanted to study in Southampton, Solent is their only option. And despite what some of the more academic students opinions are on Art & Design students, they aren't doing it for an "easy ride", there's a hell of a lot of work involved, and you've obviously got to be talented.

Southampton uni and solent are totally different and basically hate each other as usual when theres 2 unis in 1 city.

I go to solent
And i don't just study something like media or a watersports course... I do Accounting, i'm only in my first year but I really like it, the campus is near town, the people at uni are really nice and the teaching is good.

Don't take league tables as the only thing you look at as if you get a good degree and work hard you should still have good job prospects wherever you are

yeah id rather be at solent then a **** like u mate

I'm glad someone has good word for Solent because I'm there next year to study Psychology (criminal behaviour). I only applied for Solent and Portsmouth due to their location and Southampton only did basic Psyc. I think that as long as you work hard and end up with a good degree it shouldn't really matter which uni you studied at. :-)

You're actually at southampton aren't you Boney? You aren't doing much for Solent's rep.

I can't be bothered with the rivalry. They offer different things for the most part so aren't really comparable. Southampton has fewer weaker departments than Solent, but Solent has a decent rep for some niche things. And even if it doesn't, it doesn't impact on me whether people go there or not.

I've applied to Solent :/

Pretty worried after reading this thread though.
Anyone on here that goes to Solent who Isn't a "no-hoper" that would be willing to discuss it with me?

I'm hoping so, as from reading the website It looked perfect for me.

Wow..Im applying for Solent - Psychology (criminal behaviour)
I chose the Uni because I loved the look of the course, also they asked for a lower number of UCAS points..240, rather than the highest im applying for (Lincoln, asking for 300).
Im from the north of england, and so I havent been able to see the university.

But just seeing this, is putting me off southampton all together.
Seriously...how immature is this? No matter what university you're at, you are UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. So surely you shouldnt be behaving like this.

I dont want to be seen as stupid, for if I do go to Solent next year (I dont know where I want to go yet.)
Im not mega smart, but im not absolutely stupid either..If I go to Solent I dont want to be seen as thick.

This is really off putting to potential students of both southampton unis. Just seeing the immature rivalry.

Southampton university - You MAY be smarter than people at solent, so surely you shouldnt be behaving like this.

Solent - You MAY be less smart than UoS, but you also MAY be smarter than some people there. Again, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, shouldnt behave like this.


:/

I have also applied to Southampton Solent to do Film and Television Studio Production.

I have also applied to Southampton Solent to do Film and Television Studio Production. Like said earlier, the course looks really good for me on the website and I've got an interview for it next Wednesday. However, I'm now also quite worried after reading this thread.. I'm not just put off from Solent but also the place as a whole. I can understand why there is rivalry; It's exactly the same here up in Leeds and quite frankly, I'm scared that I'll be branded just for going to a university that appeals to me.

look m8 u fink your better then me but u aint, your just a tipical southampton kunt..i'm studying media and its an intense course id like to see u do it..rather be at solent then a posh knobhead

HAHA you're such an uneducated nobody. Your grammar is appalling and your spelling is equally as poor… Go get your job in Mcdonalds and serve me my hash browns… and expect to be trod on professionally.
