Surrey university life

Hey I’ve just got my offer back from Surrey to study psychology. The problem is I havnt had a chance to visit Surrey yet so I don’t know the area, I come from a pretty boring town and feel a bit restricted so I would like university to be different. What do you guys think of Surrey? :smile:

The town is quite nice. There not loads and loads to do but there is enough if you're willing to make the most of things. There is a night life too which can be amazing when its Christmas for example

I have got an offer from surrey too. I visited their open days and I really liked it. The university itself looked really pretty and there was a lot of greenery too. I am planning on making it my firm.

That’s good to hear I’ve read a lot of stuff against the uni so it’s made me a little worried.

I like the uni because it seems to be good for the course I want to do which is why I wanted to make it my firm. Really? What sort of things did you hear? So far, I've only heard fairly positive things about it.

Yeahh I was thinking about making it my firm too. Just a lot of things about of the social scene is a bit dead and people saying they had to transfer to other unis cause they didn’t like, and one person was even saying that the uni is pretty bad and they use money to get to the rank they are at- although that seemed a little far fetched😂

I live around the area, went to the uni when I was in year 11 for a lecture. It's a pretty neat place, I think you'd like it if you came from a small town. :smile:

Ah that’s good I was worried I would feel restricted. Do u know if there are any Asian restaurants around Guildford, I’m really big in Japanese food and stuff, or would I have to go to London for that sorta thing?

Hello

I've just done a quick search for you and found a list of Asian restaurants here: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurants-g186390-c3-Guildford_Surrey_England.html

We also have Young's on campus which is very popular with students. Here's a blog post about it: http://blogs.surrey.ac.uk/hongkong-blog/2018/02/26/where-to-eat-between-lectures-youngs-kitchen/

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with. We're here to help.

Thanks,
Rosie

Yeahh as a student I know I won’t be able to eat our much anyway but it’s always nice to know there’s options. Yeahh I’ve heard about the sports facilities and that’s exciting I’m not good at sports but I do really enjoy them😂
