The University of Surrey is based in Guildford, the historical and vibrant county town of Surrey. It has all the amenities of a city yet remains small enough to explore and enjoy easily. Amongst the streets and lanes around the cobbled High Street, there is a wealth of history to discover, making it an ideal setting for learning.
The school has a sports centre and one of the best sports grounds in Europe. A separate sports hall is available to group leaders for an extra fee. After lessons you can play sports and take part in drama or science clubs. You can relax and socialise in the common room or outdoors in the schoolyard. A well-stocked shop and a Starbucks coffee shop are available on site. In the evenings there are discos, music battles, games and shows where students practise their English. During the week there are full-day trips to London, Oxford and Portsmouth.
Pupils are accommodated in the university residence. The rooms are single and bathrooms are shared. Launderettes are available on site. Meals are provided three times a day and full lunch packs are provided for trips.
