Some of it reflects life on campus, with 160+ clubs and societies, the world-class facilities at Surrey Sports Park including a 50m swimming pool and 120-station gym, and a great choice of places to eat, drink and hang out.
With so much happening on campus, it’s easy to see why so many students want to live here. There are more than 5,750 study-bedrooms on campus, 4,000 of which have an en-suite shower and toilet.
