It is a great university, great campus and had an amazing view especially in the summer. The uni club is good, and gets quite famous people every year such as krept and konan or stormzy. The uni is very supportive of its students, for instance during exam periods the shop by the library is open 24/7 to encourage student to revise at the Library while supporting our snacking requirements 😂

Big campus, new library but suffer with overpopulation the past two years. Everywhere on campus feels overcrowded

I think that the university overall is great but I am disappointed by the fact that it is dropping down in ranks. My course is very enjoyable and I also enjoy the environment, loads of helpful lectures and tutorial leaders!

The University of Surrey is a good place to study for a postgraduate degree. It is well organized and has a wide variety of curriculum to choose from. It is close to the Guildford train station and is really convenient when it comes to living there, but some of the accommodation sites provided is a bit old. In terms of facilities, the library is opened 24/7 and the online services in the University is comparably advanced to other universities.

I mean I really like the sports facilities and the the Surrey sports park because there’s so many things you can do with your friends. The societies are endless and for example I joined the acs society and the fun never stops. This February they are doing a fun take me out thing and we are all so excited. Not only this but the career opportunities are good and they have many schemes that one would take part in and enjoy so much.

The campus is beautiful, and has a friendly feel, however it is quite small compared to other universities. The town is quite small and it's hard to get around with a car, although the connection to London is rather good reaching to London within 30 mins from the town station (by train). The university itself has too many students for it's capacity which means everyone doesn't get value for money. I regret coming here and wish I opted for a city university instead, or someone with a focus on the actual students and their well-being instead of merely statistics.

Lovely campus with lots of extra activities. Good support from the lecturers but not enough time spent in uni for how much we pay. Negatives are definitely the parking. Never any spaces available to book and costs 7£ a day for pay and display.

Guildford has spoons and big Tesco. Not much nightlife. Union is decent. Good uni, careers services and sports centre

Overall the university is a very good place to study and live as well with many good and well respected lecturers. The city is very safe which also helps to make the experience as good as possible. However, there are only like 4 nightclubs available and none of them are really any good so the night life is definitely an aspect that is lacking from uni life. Also simply fresh which is the campus shop is insanely overpriced and is a real money burner that is one of the key moaning points as it's like the only convenient shop and it is expensive.

University of Surrey provides a great experience with a warm atmosphere in the heart of Guildford. Facilities are great, with outstanding library and sports park. While my course was over subscribed, the teaching has generally been good with a couple of exceptions and although content could be made more exciting.

The university of Surrey provides a good university experience with a warm atmosphere in Guildford. While they over subscribed my course, teaching is good with field experts providing quality lectures, even if the content could be made Moreno interesting. Facilities are generally great, with an outstanding library and sports park whilst sports and societies are very successful.

The lecturers and tutors are extremely friendly and they are very very helpful. I have been at UCL before and I can guarantee you being at Surrey you get much more support.

Surrey uni has a very friendly atmosphere and a beautiful campus. Only 40 minutes on the train to London whilst also being set in the beautiful Surrey countryside.

Teaching given by the teachers is not adequate enough in my opinion. I study law and the lectures are not as informative as they should be, neither are the seminars. Student life is also boring, the town itself is very quiet ideal for families and elderly people. If you're looking for a university where you'll have lots of fun and go out then this one's not for you. However, the quietness of the town does allow you to study and get your head down. Accommodation is also quite good I would say, however Manor Park is quite a walk from uni (15-20) and Hazel Farm is absolutely miles away, with the bus taking around 30-40mins.

It is a very good uni with good society's. The uni makes you feel welcome and is very diverse. The campus is beautiful, surrounded by beautiful scenery and the sports park is a great facility to add as it's only a 15 mins walk from stag hill (main campus) meaning that you can exercise in between studies.

Well where do I start, I came to UoS to do my masters in Psychology (conversion) and I absolutely adored the course and modules (yes even stats!). I came from an anthropology BA so whilst I had a developed view about philosophy of the mind and society and the cultural differences in norms, I had/have very little to no knowledge of stats, neuropsychology, developmental psychology, psychological research methods and the history of psychology. So far the course has been FANTASTIC and whilst it's intense, the support and community have been so helpful in getting up to speed. The campus is adorable! I know it's winter now but trust me when I came with that little gleam of sun late September it was beautiful. Getting around campus is a breeze once you know where all your classes are held. I love this place!

They care. The university cares about their students. I think that's the most important aspect you should consider before joining a uni. From the library to the faculty - they just keep trying to improve over and over.
