How could this affect me?
The campus is bigger than you might be used to at School or College and getting lost is common for new students and when timetables change. Becoming familiar with key buildings and locations may help you to prepare.
Our University of Southampton Campus Maps can be explored to give you a sense of some of the key places of interest and teaching spaces on each campus.
Check out the Student Disability and Inclusion Transition Programme, for availability of campus tours and public transport tours.
