Hi. At an open day I only saw the campus & accomodation which was really good. But I was wondering what the area of Southampton was like? Cheers.

Further to what Marcus has said...

Southampton is brilliant - really green in the city centre, with lots of parks and open spaces...loads of bars, pubs and restaurants all over the place (some of which are on the Marina, which is lovely). Transport is excellent, with regular buses, an airport, a dock and four train stations! And shopping is brilliant too - we have about four shopping centres.

And it's a great size, big enough to explore, but not so big you feel swamped :smile:

Hey! I applied for TWL, they gave me an audition in Southampton in August, but I couldn't make it - do you have a contact number that I could ring so maybe I could go to yours? :p:

It makes cycling down the high street a bit of an issue though... i nearly killed some lady who just wandered into my path!
The Christmas market in Southampton is ****. The one in Lincoln is so, so much better.
