They seem to care a lot about societies but the uni is also in massive debt so canu2019t afford to put much money into them. Lots of events held by the SU, I donu2019t go so unsure how much attention they get. The SU shop stocks a fair amount of food and drinks as well as uni clothing but again itu2...

Food on campus is expensive, drinks at the campus club are expensive, the town has nothing to do and very few shops tailored towards students (only Primark and maybe TKMaxx, now a new sports direct) so students te...

Never needed support in most aspects but I hadnu2019t heard great things about their mental health support from some people saying they can be quite dismissive so I went to my GP instead. Support from lecturers is easily accessible in the form of tutorials

A few food places which arenu2019t too bad food wise but do like to bump up the price which, for a university of poor students, is just plain stupid. No sports f...

Hello!

My name is Jo and I am the official representative for the University of Winchester on The Student Room.

I have lived in Winchester for the previous 7 years, and have been working at the University since 2018. I have studied at undergraduate level, and have lots of experience to pass on from my time at university. Living in Winchester has been great so far. It is a beautiful, historic city that has great links to bigger cities such as London and Southampton. I am happy to help you with any questions you have about the University or life in Winchester (including the best sushi spots!).

University of Winchester open days

Are you thinking of applying to this university?

Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.

Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
