Where to stay

Southampton is a vibrant city with plenty to offer its student community. There is no shortage of amenities in this sunny coastal town. It’s known as the shopping hub of the south coast with a selection of high street chains and independent stores, a retail shopping park, and an IKEA. It also has plenty going for it when it comes to an evening out – High Street is home to a range of bars and restaurants, from cheap and cheerful to fabulously fancy. Unite Students accommodation in Southampton keeps you close to all the action in this bustling area. 

Southampton is also home to several excellent higher education institutions, including the University of Southampton and Southampton Solent University.
