Surrey is undoubtedly one of the friendliest universities in the UK. I have always felt welcome. If you find someone in your course library and need help, you’re sure to get it. The people are very kind. In my day, there was a corner of the library where only the IT guys studied. very good sense of community

The professors are a thousand times better than is normal at a Russell Group university. And above all, they are 5 stars as a people. When you need help, you can be sure they will always be there to help.

I studied at Surrey a few years ago and found Surrey truly supportive. I wasn´t an outstanding math students but Surrey has weekly extra sessions where older students would help you. I found this peer supporting scheme great.

Very good course with a strong practical component. I really liked studying there. Practical lessons are always accompanied by a senior student. I always advise you to ask for help when you need it. Guys are usually super nice

Whenever you have a problem at Surrey just go to the students union. I remember I saw somewhere that it is ranked as a top 10 students union in the UK and I understand why. Once I had a problem because of a marking error and they took care of it within a week. The university was comprehensive and corrected there mistake

I really enjoyed studying in Surrey. Computer science is a difficult course but I feel that I received all the support possible to do my best. The university has senior students who work as tutors and hosts a weekly chat room with chairs. At exam time it helps a lot as students get used to joining. I highly recommend Surrey to anyone looking for a university with a good academic and professional record

I loved my course. And I am genuinely happy to have this opportunity to share my experience. I studied 3 years in Surrey I will graduate this year. I feel that I learned a lot and that I grew as a person. Surrey will always be my home. I was quite happy there and I say that I made the best decision possible in coming here.

For starters, I really enjoyed the course. I was well prepared and the teachers were also very good. I liked how the course combined lectures with tutorials and labs. There was a lot of independent work, but in computer science we had a building of our own. Hence, most of the time we were there. We were a very close cohort which made my experience even better.

I recommend all students to try to do more than just the course while in Surrey. To start, join a society, clubs or even work part-time. This will help you to improve your time management skills. If I could go back, I would like to have done a spring internship out, even a summer internship. Most of my friends have made and received a job offer. I only started applying at the end of the year which made everything more stressful but thank god everything went well. I got a lot of help from the surrey careers department.

The Stag Hill Campus is amazing – from the facilities to the gorgeous lake, I love being on campus. – Manor Park is great but it feels a bit disconnected – when I lived there in the first year, I always felt like I was an outsider. – The Student’s Union is amazing and with each year, when new officers come along, you can see the amazing difference they are making. – The university is inclusive, representing each student and their needs. – I love my course – Surrey is one of the top universities for it and you can tell why!

– The Computer Science department at Surrey has really worked with what is best for the students throughout the pandemic – even as we come out the other side, there is so much support and the lecturers truly care. – The content they teach is engaging and prepares us for when we leave the university.

The best aspects of my university experience include the beautiful campus (I love the lake, geese, and natural environment) and the students’ union (so many events are offered). I admire the consistent support from lecturers and interesting course content. The course could be improved by tackling the amount of reading offered – for some years it’s too much reading! Also, some modules seem harder than others – there should be a balance between all modules in terms of intellectual stimulation. I prefer online lectures and seminars – they are much more accessible. As an English literature degree, contact hours are inevitably low. However, I would appreciate it if they were much higher.

It’s very close to London! A good divide between student and personal life because of the campus university. I like the 24/7 support provided by accommodation services. I also admire the mentor scheme – definitely helped me in the first year. I disliked the kitchen… the stove and fridge weren’t the greatest. Also, not all rooms on campus are the same – I pay the same as others, and their kitchens etc are much better! It is quite a homely place to be. Nice views, amazing campus, and great course! The facilities are modern and useable, you can book rooms as a student and use them for anything! Also, good food options (my personal favourite is Young’s Kitchen) and the student life is lively.
