selecting Uni

I am going to study Digital Marketing for postgraduate. I have two options: University of Surrey and University of Shieffield. Please tell me real feeling about everyday expanse in each city, the facility and how leisure time is! Thank you! BTW I am an international student.

Hi university of Surrey and Sheffield are two very different places to study.

Sheffield is in the north and a city campus. It has good night life, city campus, the university facilities look good, it’s essentially a cheap city for students and there is lots to do in Sheffield. There are also direct trains to leeds and Manchester if you want day outs at other city’s.

Surrey is down by London so it will cost more to live there. Surrey is also a campus university meaning it is not based in a major city. To get to London it is a 40 mins direct train. I don’t know if there is much to do in Guildford as I have never visited.

Hello,

I'm pleased to hear you're considering the University of Surrey for your postgraduate degree 🙂 I joined Surrey in 2019 and have had an amazing experience. We have a beautiful campus with a lake and in-person events throughout the year.

We have a high street with popular shops and places to eat. There are lots of places to walk and enjoy the countryside. Additionally, with a convenient 34-minute train ride to London Waterloo, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – the tranquillity of Surrey and the vibrancy of London!

Given our proximity to London and our location in the South of England, it's worth noting that living expenses can be higher. However, as an international student, you'll be pleased to know that the University of Surrey provides excellent support services tailored to your needs. From orientation programs to ongoing assistance with visas and cultural adaptation, the university is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for international students.
