1. Yes, there's the town centre and the Friary shopping centre. 2. Yes, many churches, an on-campus faith centre and the Cathedral next to campus.3. I don't have a ratio but Surrey prides itself on having a high number of international students and being diverse in every way. The last two Presidents of our Students' Union have been black. 4. No, absolutely not. Guildford is very friendly, with very low levels of crime of any nature. 5. Guildford town centre isn't great for nightlife but the SU compensates because the club is huge, cheap and well run. 6. You get out what you put in. Surrey is high ranking and people do well, with very good graduate prospects.7. Accommodation is very good but off-campus accommodation can be expensive. There is a shortage of accommodation so get yourself sorted as far in advance as you can.8. Yes, you'll make loads of friends. There's lots to do and loads of new ways to meet different people.

How lenient do you guys think they are, AAB ?

If they don't let you in, phone them. They will often reject people who miss their offer to see if they care enough to phone and enquire. If they don't let you in after that, phone them again. I was four grades below my offer and I just kept phoning :smile:

Honestly, if you phone them a couple of times, 100%

What do I say each time I call? How I really want to be in the university? And wouldn't phoning them a couple of times irritate them?

Say that you think that your A Level grades don't represent your potential and that you feel that you deserve a place at Surrey based on your predicted grades/AS levels and GCSEs/extra-curricular etc. You are dedicated to the university and that Surrey wouldn't have given an offer in the first place if they didn't know you were worthy of a place.
You won't annoy them, people are phoning all the time. And they like to see people who are passionate and dedicated. Also, once you're at Surrey, you never ever ever speak to the admissions people so who cares? x
