Urgent* - info about university of surrey & psychology

Hello, I've been looking for universities as a plan B for Results day. Could anyone studying psychology at Surrey tell me about their experience please? How is it like to study there? And is the community diverse? Thank you.

Hey there! I study psychology at the uni of Surrey, so this question is perfect for me to answer.
I was in a very similar situation to you last year, and I got into the course through clearing. Turns out it was a blessing in disguise. The course content is very varied and interesting, and the lecturers are excellent (especially the one for statistics; he is a master). The course is obviously very popular so there will always be many diverse people you can meet just from inside it. It's not just sitting and taking notes either; the uni has a unique system where you can participate in actual studies, even extending to an MRI machine! A lot of studies we participate in contributes to coursework as well. Guildford is also a really nice place to live in.
This is just some of the stuff that comes to mind, but overall I've had no issues and really enjoyed the course at Surrey. I definitely think it's a great option for your plan B.

Thank you so much for your reply, it seems like a good uni! If it was closer to where I live, it would've been an easier decision because I'll be commuting everyday. I just hope that wherever I end up is the right place for me.😭

Why not see if they have space in halls?
If you live near enough to commute then you can still go home at the weekends but you’ll save a lot of commuting costs and get a larger maintenance loan if you move out of home. (Plus you would have hours of time back during the week that you could use to work and earn money)
