Veterinary Science postgraduate degrees

Lectures are very interesting, I enjoy the variety of topics and lecturers on the history course. Earlham park is beautiful and a great walk to pass. It’s so hard as a commuting student to make friends and getting to the university is an absolute nightmare, the parking on campus is absolutely ridiculously expensive, the free parking and ride service takes absolutely forever and I’m always late, I have to get up at 5:50 to make a 9am lecture when I live a 20 minute drive away, if I could afford the parking on campus I would do it as I would be on time and not stress. It is £13.50 for a time slot of 8:50-11

i believe that the student shared bathroom accommodations at university of surrey could be improved for more sustainable living snd hygiene, i also believe that every student should be guaranteed accommodation because we dont know the living situations of students, i also believe that more student accommodations should be built to also allow this guarantee to happen because the majority of students find it easier to stay on campus and it is more convenient for them, for example my self i live 2 and a half hours away from the university in hertford, the public transport is £20-30 which is extremely expensive, and i have a low income mother who is due a knee surgery, so things loke this can really support students and make students feel like they have a place to study and place to come to for support.

The best aspects of my university experience have been the sense of community and the opportunities for personal and academic growth. My course is taught by passionate lecturers who make the subject feel relevant and engaging, and I’ve appreciated how approachable most staff are when I need help. There are also plenty of extracurricular activities and societies, which made it easy to meet people with similar interests. The campus facilities—like the library, study spaces, and wellbeing services—have also been a big part of what makes it a great place to study. In terms of what could be improved, there are a few key areas. Communication between departments could sometimes be clearer, especially around deadlines and timetable changes. At busy times of the year, access to study spaces can become limited, and more quiet areas or longer opening hours would make a difference. It would also help if there were more practical, hands-on learning opportunities such as placements, workshops, or industry links, as these really enhance understanding and employability. Overall, the university offers a supportive and stimulating environment, but with better organisation and more resources during peak periods, the student experience could be even stronger.
