I love it here at the University of Surrey. I love that there are many bus stops dotted around the campus with buses arriving fairly frequently. The scheme of providing us with free fruit two days a week is very helpful, since buying fruit can taking up a fair amount of our budgets. The various fairs and activities the University arranges are also extremely helpful in finding our what we want to do with our lives and how to go about it.

The university's finance department is utterly useless. I am a PhD student and for the last three years I have been raising this concern through all relevant channels, but if anything, they appear to be getting worse. Everyone I speak to at the university knows that the finance department are useless. They have contributed significantly to my level of stress. They have always said that they are understaffed, but the whole finance system needs a major overhaul with the aim of improving transparency. If anyone with the power to influence change is reading this, please raise this to the relevant people.

This is a good place for students to live. It is just a few minutes' walk from the train station, surrounded by supermarkets and close to the town centre. The public facilities here are very new and very complete, there are study rooms, communal kitchen, laundry, gym, games room and so on, it is really worth it!

Perfect university if you're looking for something student-orientated, the care and attention given to student life is top notch on top of the student academic support, great facilities that are being improved constantly, accommodation is good and within reach of tesco, lidl, and city centre by bus or walking. Overall very chill location but only a half and hour train ride from London if you're looking to see new places. Post graduation services seem useful, you get the sense that its a very employable university especially if you do a degree with placement year.

Societies are a hit and miss. Had a terrible experience with the Surf society 21/22 regarding some kind of sexual abuse. It's minor but still, nobody should have to go through that and then be ignored. The committee and president generally only cared for people in their friendship group and didn't bother helping out new surfers despite advertising themselves as welcoming for all levels of experience. I didn't learn a thing nor did I get to surf for more than 2 hours total on two trips. The committee are mostly the same for next year (one member being pretty much bullied into leaving and a couple have left), so I hope they would have improved by 22/23. Other than that, the uni is ok. The only amazing points are the modern and seemingly luxurious amenities as well as the high job offers and placement opportunities. Of course, this was only one society and I joined a different one. Most people are nice but this is just a heads up to potential surfers on the off chance they read this.

Accommodation is awful and isolating. Rent averages £600/month for a room in a shared house. Like an overpopulated mini London where everyone is cold and cruel because no one has any personal space whatsoever because the campus and facilities are pushed far beyond their maximum occupancy. Buses are always late. Rail is always on strike or late. Nothing to do in town. Student union club always sold out and their weird sex fetish themed nights every week are total cringe. Everything is overpriced. PGRs in my department all live outside of Guildford because it's too expensive to live in town so you never see other PGRs, their "student rep" is a joke who does the absolute bare minimum to connect the PGR community. My department has no seminars or anything so no reason for any other PGRs to ever cross paths. I was denied access to facilities/equipment critical for my research project but undergrads are allowed to use everything. NHS services are stretched thin. Place is a diploma mill.

Some of the lecture rooms are old and frankly too small. Societies within this university is great, however, it’s rather expensive if you want to join sport society. Careers service shows no support whatsoever. There are some area in the campus have no Internet connection. The management have clearly shown very little support regarding students mental and physical health.

So far as I write this, Its a shame to say Im really disappointed with going here. The campus is beautiful and Guildford is nice between countryside and London. The management of this Uni is somewhat disgraceful. They do not seem to care about your welfare, and I have had many issues with this uni from accommodation managers who don't care once you pay the bill, and consistently demand it. Everyone all agrees that there needs to be a major shift in the overall management of the University as its foundations are there to be a great place to study. It's a real shame. I would have gone somewhere else if I knew what I knew now. Don't believe me ask anyone who is going here currently (2021)

lovely campus, manor park has a great environment (20mins walk/10 mins bus), sports park is great for me, the career service is not bad (workshops and individual appointments available), a bit pricey stuffs in campus, 15mins walk to the town centre from campus, 24 hours library, not applicable to clubs and societies as I am not active during my time in the university

Good university with a sprawling campus. However, they seem more concerned in investing in their appearance rather than their quality of facilities

At least the internet in halls and private accommodation was good. Teaching was also ok. Surreylearn online service was awesome. HOWEVER, I had terrible experiences with renting, student union funding, societies, social culture, social spaces, administrative boards and the exam board. Ended up having to go somewhere else in third year because I couldn't stand it. I'm picking where to go now during the Corvid-19 pandemic...

campus is nice but accommodation services are too strict - no guests allowed over - on campus shop is too expensive and town is a 15 minute walk away and coming back is all uphill. bus service unreliable - what does the student union even do? also our chancellor spent £1.6k of the universities money moving his dog

I would not recommend going to this university especially to study law. There has been a huge negative change in the past 2 years. Student services are unhelpful and very unwilling to work with you. The parking is terrible and everything is very overpriced. With regards to teaching, your success would solely depend on the lecturer that you pick and not the subject as there is huge inconsistency between lecturers.

Student life:AMAZING! Best years of my life! Course: If you're planning to study Psychology here, please, please,please reconsider! It is absolutely terrible. The course is unbelievably tedious and pointless - you will acquire no skills whatsoever and it will be a grandiose waste of time. Lecturers are extremely unprepared and Year 2 is pretty much a carbon copy Of Year 1 so you learn nothing on top on the "nothing" you already learnt in first year. They claim to want you to practice your "critical thinking" but you are only allowed to do that as long as you argue as per their ridiculous and pointless views on real psychological issues.

They changed all the marking standards and everyone’s grades dropped from 1st to 2:1 etc. Many people have final year resits now which has been previously incredibly rare and have poor degrees. Surrey is known for good employability but most jobs require a 2:1. Surrey has poor teaching and poor organisation with no feedback being given. 2019

I'm very surprised to see the number of positive reviews for Surrey. I've honestly found the experience to be horrible from start to finish. The uni only cares about taking your money, accommodation and quality of education comes second. The uni has a massive problem with over-crowding as Surrey are taking on students faster than they can build accommodation. This has caused prices in the private sector to increase ridiculously and has caused a housing crisis in Guildford. Some courses have taken on so many students that the lecture theatres can't accommodate everyone - there have been reports of people having to sit on the floor for certain lectures - although the university "solved" this by booking out the local cinema to hold lectures in. Placement year is a rip off. Uni charge you 2k for being on placement and give you a load of pointless work to do as an excuse for the charge. I was happy with my placement but I wish I just took a sabbatical and did my placement during that.

My course (computer science) wasn't great - I'm limited on characters here so I must be brief. But some of the modules have been truly awful - as feedback is almost always ignored I can't see this changing anytime soon.

If you are thinking about coming here - DO NOT!!! Severely overcrowded to the point of staging lectures in the local cinema. This has also lead to huge waiting lists for the local GP to the point where people are refused medications etc. Ridiculous house prices. Management are laying off good lecturers causing the ones left to be overworked. Library services are useless with little online access and few physical copies of books necessary for courses. Campus is awful to get around for anyone with a disability or issues with walking. I have just finished my third year here and the standard of the uni is seriously dropping, as can be seen in their rankings!

Surrey is a great university, especially for Biomedical Science as the lecturers are amazing, very enthusiastic and always willing to help! However, some facts such as overcrowding and the sometimes unorganised dealings with the Student's Union during my time as a signatory member of a society have caused some downsides to the experience. Overall, I think the time I have spent at the University of Surrey has really given me lots of independence, self-confidence, good course understanding and amazing friends who mean the world to me.

Well, i'm disappointed. The physical union itself is atrocious, literally an antique shop except all the chairs and tables are falling apart. Its a complete mess yet the union aren't doing anything about? People being berated in the most recent election by other union members. The university is over subscribed. Good luck getting a seat to revise in the library unless youre going 8pm onwards. Do not rent the more expensive band D or above capus accomodation - the accomodation is awful and are much better going for B or below Staff cuts, unorganised lectures and lab session although a few lecturers are outstanding in what they do. Its just disappointing. Its not surprising how far its all slipped down the league tables recently. Too many students, not enough staff, not enough care.
