Well-being facilities and student support is usually excellent. Quick online system means support is quick and easy to access. Safety is paramount at Surrey which is appreciated and useful especially when living in campus. Course is wonderful with inspiring lectures. Sometime modules seem to be arbitrary and not-so-thought-through. This could be improved by more rigours scrutiny with modules on smaller courses, such as mine. The student union could be more involved, hard to easily tell what work they have done or legislation they’ve put in place.

The course features some amazing content, to which mostly during second year, has been taught in person. The style of teaching works much better on a music course in particular. I’ve found interaction with lecturers really useful, it was hard for them to get a grasp on us as students during zoom lessons. Lecturers are brilliant at replying to questions and concerns, they show obvious care and concern over students and help regardless of where you are at ability-wise. Lecturers also have made an effort to push forward more funding for our small course. This means: better facility’s, teaching environments etc.

Guildford is a small town, however feeling incredibly safe. Everything is in walking distance with great public transport, this makes it easy to journey into town. Because of its size, if clubbing is high on a students priority list, it’s probably not for you. However it’s cute, quaint and has plenty to do. Not to mention, it’s without a half an hour of London.

Uni halls offered me a great experience, even within various lockdowns. Living with 14 helped socialise and meant I had plenty of opportunities to make friends. They were cleaned twice a week, toilets and showers more often. WiFi worked brilliantly and fast.

The facilities and technology available in my course are fantastic and my coursework is always fun. The sports park is so close to accommodation with so many opportunities to stay active. There are so many societies and music ensembles to participate in. Some of the buildings on campus are quite ugly, but the greenery makes up for it. The proximity to london comes with the possibility of going into the city for gigs etc. which is awesome.

There‘s a lot of solo work time, which can be hard to handle, but the facilities, contents of the core modules and coursework are the most fulfilling I could've imagined.

There were silverfish and other maintenance problems, but the location of the accommodation can hardly be beat and the room is satisfactory.
