Southampton University Students Union

Introduction

The University is committed to being a good neighbour and working to ensure its impact on the local area is both enriching and beneficial.

Our on-campus sports facilities are available for use by our neighbours and we welcome visitors from all over the region to our campus arts venues - the Nuffield Theatre, John Hansard Gallery and Turner Sims concert hall - and bus travellers using our new uni-link bus interchange at Highfield.

We encourage our students to be good neighbours also, asking them to be aware of their responsibilities as members of the community, not to let themselves down, and to avoid causing offence or impacting negatively on the lives of their fellow citizens.

Many of them make a significant personal contribution and commitment to the city through their volunteering work while at university, and many remain in Southampton after graduation to follow their careers and make their homes here.
