University Of Southampton Vs Henley

Is living in Southampton too expensive for a student compared to Leeds?

I've not been to Southampton University but can safely say that Leeds Univeristy has everything a student would want. I feel like I am qualified to say this as I'm currently in the 4th year (Masters) of my Aerospace Engineering degree. I have also lived in Leeds my whole life!There are over 30,000 students at the university and hence hundereds of societies too. The modules and lecturers are of a very high standard. The city itself has almost 1 million people living in it (a lot more than Southampton ) and has one of the best (if not the best) nightlifes in the UK. Compared to prices down south, it’s very cheap to live, eat, drink or whatever you want to spend your money on.The university also has great links to industry too with an employability team designated to engineering alone! Anyway it's been a great experience for me and I have a graduate job lined up at Airbus \U0001f601\U0001f601

What’s it like to attend University of Reading?

This is a tough question. I studied there my M.Sc. and Ph.D., and I lived in Reading for almost 8 years. I can tell you without hesitation, your specialty plays a major role in your experience. I studied in a poorly funded department (mathematics and statistics), and it wasn’t really the nicest department. So, I wasn’t really fond of spending time there. I spent most of my time with my friends at Henley business school. The University itself, is very beautiful, very lively, great accommodations, and the town is beautiful. It is not far from London, and other places like Oxford, Basingstoke, Southampton, etc. The Uni and the city are very safe, and I, really, like it there. However, it is a bit expensive for a student to live in Reading if you ask me. But again, this is my own experience.

Which university is better for an MSc. programme in computer science, Bristol, Southampton, Nottingham, Sheffield, Glasgow, Birmingham, Durham, or Queen Mary, especially for academia and employability?

for employability -There are certain universities which have a reputation to produce high quality graduates and therefore are more targeted by big organisations to recruit. These will be the universities where success has happened in the past. If you are interested in finding out more look at some of the organisations you would like to work at and see where they have events on campus. It doesnt mean that you wont be employed if you dont go to one of these but it does mean that you might not see as much of the employers you want to meet. In terms of historical for computer science we used to target Southampton the most from this list for our tech roles. Check out the amount of students that are in fulltime employment after university and a year after that - you should be able to find this information at the university,

Which University to choose in UK for Computer Science from Southampton, Warwick, Bristol, Manchester and St. Andrews?

Thank you for the A2A.If you have, or someone you know has, the chance to study Computer Science at any one of these five, then congratulations - only Cambridge and Imperial College outrank them! (Computer Science - Top UK University Subject Tables and Rankings 2017). And really, it wouldn’t matter much which of these you chose, because they are all very good.Once you get to this level, it becomes mostly a matter of personal choice about which place feels most congenial, what kind of place you want to be in.St Andrews (note the S) is in Scotland, a long way from London; it’s a very prestigious and long-established place, with lots of tradition about it, and students wear spectacular red gowns.Bristol is a nice city, very popular place to live, on the west coast, close to the sea, and with good communications with the rest of the country in terms of airport, rail and motorway connections, and the main university buildings are in Clifton, which is one of the most attractive parts of the city.Southampton also has an airport, good rail and motorway connections, and is about the same travelling time (about 90 minutes) from London as Bristol. It’s on the south coast, fairly close to the sea, though it’s easy to forget this! The Computing buildings are fairly new and are on the main Highfield campus, which is very green and attractive.Warwick is a very highly-ranked university generally, with an excellent reputation. It’s quite a bit newer than the others, and probably wouldn’t sound as attractive if it were called Coventry University, but it’s much nearer to industrial Coventry than to the old county town of Warwick and the castle! Conveniently placed in the Midlands, between Birmingham and London, and with reasonable travelling links.Manchester - at the southern end of the North of England, a big city with a long history of industry, and with all the usual communications links - airport, motorways, rail and so on. I’ve never been there, but students like it, which is all that mattersSo there you are - you could stick a pin in and choose one at random, and it would hardly matter, because they’re all good. But I hope this helps a bit?

Which university is better? City University London or University of Reading?

Well I went to both circa 30 years ago and much may have changed but from the pastoral perspective Reading is a great campus university with a central hub and lots of halls of residence and extensive grounds, whereas City is right in the heart of London so purely from the living perspective it depends whether you want to be in the heart of a throbbing metropolis or on a leafy green suburban environment.From the educational perspective, City is a renowned engineering University and I chose it over Cambridge at the time, and Reading is famed for food science and its College of Estate Management in the property sphere. Again this allegedly surpassed Oxbridge when I studied there.I am sure there are other courses that each University specialise in but I am out of date and not aware of them but for sure both Universities are excellent.

Is the murder rate in the fictional city of Midsomer in the TV-show Midsomer Murders higher than London?

“Midsomer” is pretty much the real county of Oxfordshire, UK, more precisely South Oxfordshire. The town of Causton (in terms of filming locations) is roughly half Wallingford and half Thame (both towns in South Oxfordshire, about 15 miles apart) and the vast majority of filmed villages, pubs and houses are in Oxfordshire.South Oxforshire has a population of just 128,000, so considerably fewer than the 1.5 million suggested by James, and the episodes average 3 murders each, so that would be 345 over 20 years, or 17.25 per year.It’s hard to work out precise figures for London since the numbers vary quite a lot year to year, and London���s population varies considerably between night and day (due to vast commuter numbers). But 100 murders per year is roughly in the ball park and 9 million is a good approximation for population, so that’s 11.1 murders per million, per year. South Oxfordshire’s 17.25 per year works out as 134.76 murders per million per year. So, rounding down:London: 11 murders per million, per yearMidsomer: 134 murders per million per yearPersonally, I’d say Midsomer has quite a few more murders than it deserves, which tends to tally with the common perception of the show…
