Southampton is a safe and very walkable city, with good transport links. But if you don’t want to walk or get the Unilink bus home late at night the Students’ Union runs a free Safety Bus to get you home at the weekend.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights the bus runs regularly from Highfield Campus and will drop you straight to your door – even if you live in Winchester.
