What are the desks sizes for band D halls at surrey

I am going to Surrey this year and I want to bring my piano. I want to know if there is enough room to put it on the desk. It's a full-sized piano, roughly 1.3m long. Would that fit? Should I go and buy something smaller instead?

You cannot use musical instruments in Halls.

I have had a look at the pdf that goes over everything about halls, but I could not find anything about bringing musical instruments. The only thing I could see was about noise levels but I would have headphones on so I don’t think that would impact me.

Hi Anon#1

It depends on which room you will be in. Most of our desks in Band D are at least 1.25m long. I stayed in Manor Park in my first year and found that rooms had more desk space (1.5m+) in comparison to Stag Hill. You can also view some of our rooms here on our Facebook page.

We also have several music practice rooms on campus available for you along with other world-class facilities. Find out more here.

I hope that helps. Please feel free to post again if you have any other questions.

All the best
