Attending the University of Surrey has introduced me to a truly wonderful and transformative experience. It has been a journey filled with a range of emotions, from overwhelming moments to thrilling challenges and occasional bouts of stress. Fortunately, the majority of my classes have been enjoyable, adding to my excitement and enthusiasm for continuing my education at this esteemed institution.

University of Surrey is an excellent university for most of it’s aspects. Filled with a ever blossoming varied student base with plenty of facilities, it’s hard to go against the experience and education the University provides in relation to your programme of choice. The only issue lays in the topic of education is a general gripe with the University education system of the United Kingdom at large.

At no point will you be realistically prepped for the genuine struggle and hardship of post-university life, the time you have at the University will be cherished and you will be treated very well but the millisecond you are out the door and not paying into the University anymore, it’s as if your existence is whiped from their memory, undestandably the constant cycle of prepping for the next batch of students is important but education even at higher levels continues to feel less like guidance and more obligation of the youth of the nation.

I am currently in my second year of University, and am studying Media and Communications. Since Covid-19 ruined my experience last year, this year has started off great, and I have been able to get a real sense of what the University life is like, as well as meeting new people and having a better class experience overall. We have many students across the world, and thus I have been able to expand my friendship groups and become more social, as everyone in my course is very friendly and kind. As for the course itself, so far I really enjoy it, it’s fun, interesting and engaging, and definitely something different for me. The work we are given is very straightforward, and plenty of materials are offered in order to help us achieve the best of our potential. I would highly recommend doing Media and Communications, especially if you are looking to go into the film industry, journalism or marketing, or even if you don’t have a particular career in mind, it will certainly open the door for many opportunities.

The University has amazing campus, lectors and atmosphere! It continues to invest and expand – providing everything need for every student enrolled. Amazing social events that take place every week help people socialize and unwind while in their studies.

Surrey is a university with great teaching, it’s campus is well concentrated and the sports facilities are great! Surrey campus makes it easy to socialise, the university has a club “rubix” which organises regular events and nights. The Students union is very active, there are a lot of different societies you can join. The facilities are great, Surrey has a five-floor library with plenty of study room, some amazing fields and lakes. The accommodations at Surrey are ok, the rooms are standard and the prices vary but remain affordable. It might be difficult to find a place to stay after first year since more and more students are joining Surrey making rent also quite expensive. Overall my experience at Surrey was really great!
