University campus is very picturesque and the area is safe & quiet (there are a few places if you want to go out but for more exciting nights out you’d want to go to London). The biggest downside of Guildford are the living costs, uni accommodation is only guaranteed for the first-year undergraduate students and afterwards rent can be crazy expensive! There are loads of sports clubs and societies to join and also the ports park which has amazing facilities and is quite affordable for students. In terms of teaching, for those interested in biosciences I would definitely recommend Surrey, the majority of lecturers are super friendly and helpful, however, due to the numbers of students in each year I wouldn’t expect loads of very personalised feedback on your progress; if you want to do a placement year Surrey also offers a lot of support
