Hello Rachel1973!,

It's great to see that you're considering Surrey.

In terms of the surrounding areas of the university, there is a shopping centre called The Friary, that is a 20 minute walk away from the main campus (or 45 minutes away from Manor Park). In this area and it's surroundings, you can find a diverse range of restaurants, shops and entertainment. For example, there's the G live; the labyrinth; a Wetherspoons; a cinema, along with other restaurants and pubs.

The university also has it's own nightclub that's exclusively open to university students known as Rubix hosting a wide range of events, and you can find more information on this and our student union here https://surreyunion.org/Rubix/ and here https://surreyunion.org/.

Let me us know if you have anymore questions.

Best regards,
Imane
Placement-Year Languages student
