I really love this university!!
Great people love the university!!!
Students are nice
I love my university
i love how quiet it is and it’s beautiful atmosphere and everything is close by.
The University of Surrey is an amazing institution, the facilities are great and everything is conveniently located on one campus. I really like the natural beauty around the uni—it feels peaceful but still lively. The staff are super supportive, and the location is perfect; you get the calm of Surrey with easy access to London.
I love the campus and the fact that i am very close to so many services. I can walk to town and to buy my groceries from the stag hill campus. The sports park is also really good. I just wish the gym was bigger. For the IsC they don’t have a set time table for the whole semester which is very inconvenient as i cannot make plans in advance.
Campus facilities could be more concentrated in one area, but great support and facilities.
The people, help and feeling of the uni makes it amazing!
Amazing uni lovely staff and people.
It's a very diverse and welcoming uni. Studying here has been a great experience so far. I can't complain. Although, the town itself, Guildford, has very little going on.
CEPS IFY might have been more interesting and pragmatic. Subjects and knowledge improvement, since most of the topics are school level during IFY. Maybe a good integration for most of the international students.
- Best: My first impression of the university was how beautiful it looked with a lot of trees and animals like different kinds of birds, ducks, swans, and squirrels. Although it gets extremely cold in winter and we rarely see the sun, when we do, the scenery is mesmerizing. Thus, I've met and become acquaintances with some of the most amazing people here at the university, not only are they diligent and devoted to their work but are also fun to hang out with. Everyone here is too friendly to be true, even the lecturers/ teachers. The student support team is amazing too, they checked in on me every Wednesday when I was an under-18 student. - Worst: A girl from my flat took the wrong room key and we had to switch rooms because she'd already finished decorated her room. Her dad took my blankets and duvet set I bought from uni too... but the girl paid me back and I bought new ones. Problems solved
I think more events should be organised for students like get to gathers and all
The university has a very homely feel and the teaching is really good.
Lovely
Firstly, when I came to this University, it felt like in fairytale. This landscape that we see every day is fabulous. I want to say thank you, to the University of Surrey ISC, that they every time help to us maintain our mental health and our studies. This University gives me a lot of facilities and opportunities to be better and continue my future career.
the city is quite And the university is very diverse and welcoming to anyone
