About Solent University

Solent University is located in Southampton, right in the centre. The university is home to around 11,000 students and is conveniently located near the city centre and maritime hub of Southampton. Solent’s maritime courses are ranked amongst some of the best in the world so if this is something you’re thinking of studying, Southampton is the place to go. 

The university’s central location means there’s plenty of choice when it comes to finding student accommodation nearby.

Southampton Solent Accommodation for Students 

Moving out of halls of residence or university student accommodation and into private accommodation can be daunting but it doesn’t need to be. Once you know who you want to live with and the best areas to live, all you need to do is book some viewings and start looking for your perfect student home. 

Renting in the private sector can be a minefield but, at UniHomes, we make the process as easy as possible to take the stress out of the process. We know how difficult renting in the private sector can be so we aim to do everything we can to help. 

Students living in Southampton city centre have the benefit of being right next to campus, whilst also being at the heart of the action. However, living in the city centre does come at a premium. If you still want to be close by, but you don’t fancy the extra cost, The Polygon is a great student district and is hugely popular among Solent students and provides a wide range of accommodation options for you to choose from. 

Portswood and Bassett are also great options for students at Solent. They're a little further out from the city, so they're spacious areas, but with the great transport links in and around the city, you're still right by the action. Students from Southampton University also tend to head to these student areas, so it gives you a great opportunity to mix with other students.


Life on Campus

Solent University is based right in the centre of Southampton, and is named after the stretch of water between Southampton and the Isle of Wight. The university is proudly industry focused, and works closely with local businesses, which makes it perfect for those hoping for some hands-on education.

Solent was the beneficiary of a £100m investment into the campus in 2020. Creative education makes up a big part of the courses on offer at Solent, from TV to film production. The university works closely with Solent Creatives, a creative agency that take paid briefs from external companies.

In Southampton, the costs of eating out and nights out tend to be a little lower than other cities in the UK so this is something to consider as it makes it the perfect place to enjoy a bit of extra money. 

There’s always somewhere to go and something to do when you live in Southampton so, as a student, we’re pretty sure you’ll never be bored and there’s always somewhere to take family when they come to visit.
