Samantha talks about the University of Portsmouth

Hi, my name is Samantha and I'm currently studying International Relations and I'm in my third year at the University of Portsmouth.

My uni life in three words is fun and intellectually stimulating.

The best place for me at my university is the library, especially when it's raining and on the top floor, there's this window seat where you can see the rest of the library and the road and it's just the most perfect calm vibe ever. I love it.

To be honest, I only knew it was going to be the right university for me after I started going to class because of the teaching standard and my fellow students.

To be honest, I haven't joined any clubs or societies because I did so many in high school that I wanted a break. So, I decided I'd only join one which is Modern United Nations, but it's not offered at the university as a society, it's offered exclusively for students on my course. So, that's what I do.
