Opinion of Southampton Solent?

My advice is don't ask Southampton students what they (lol and me) think of Solent, ask people who go there, Southampton uni students just like to feel cleverer than the solent lot so will give you a bad review of the place!

i think shopping is better in southampton but i dont really care for that. I'd say portsmouth is a generally nice place, especially if youre used to living in a ****hole like myself. and yes, cosham is a hole. please don't judge an entire city by just one small bit of it.
