Hello,

Congratulations on receiving an offer to study Veterinary Medicine at the University of Surrey! It's great to hear that you're excited about the opportunity and that you liked the campus and surrounding area. Being 5 hours away from home can be a big change, but it's also a great opportunity to gain independence and new experiences. I hope that your transition to university goes smoothly, and I wish you all the best with your course!

Although I don't study Veterinary Medicine myself, I have several friends who do, so I'd be happy with any questions you may have. If you need any help or advice on general university-related matters too, please let me know :smile:

Thanks,
Sam (she/her)

hi! that’s great. it is haha, so for the offer holder day we’re having to stay over at a holiday inn 😂
surrey’s currently the only one i’ve got an offer for atm, and the other (harper and keele) i haven’t heard back from yet. i got rejected from my other 2 options. but i think surrey is maybe 2nd, mainly due to the distance. but it’s such a gorgeous uni!

is surrey your first choice?

Hi! I was wondering if you’d be able to give me any info on price of living in Surrey? My parent’s big concern is that its going to be more expensive than other uni’s due to being so close to London! is this true? ☺️

Not to sugar coat, yes it is true.

I'm a fourth year student at Surrey, and my rent right now is £590 p/m, bills included for a double room in a house. You'll find it extremely hard to find anything below £530ish, and the rooms will likely be horrible.

Halls is much, much cheaper but harder to get second year onwards. Going back into halls also means you likely won't be able to live with your friends from your first year.

I hope this helps. It completely depends on your own situation of course. I know plenty of people from less wealthy backgrounds who are doing just fine. There are also plenty of student employment opportunities available should you need extra income. Good luck with your exams this year :smile:

Ahh same!!! I got rejected from my other choices so I've now firmed surrey, but I agree its an amazing uni and the main thing is that you get a vet degree at the end of it haha, so happy to get an offer for any vet school! But fingers crossed you get an offer from h&k they are both great unis as well. Hopefully I'll see you at the offer day?
