The university of surrey has really great facilities (library and study areas, sports fields, gym). Guildford is fairly walkable, but the public transport is not where it should be for a university so big. Guildford is a really gorgeous place to live, which I have grown to appreciate more and more whilst living here.
However, it’s a very expensive place to live, with few reasonably priced bars/restaurants appealing to students. It’s also got probably the worst nightlife ever… however, the union is really great and hopefully it will start to pick up a bit more!
