Student travel in Surrey

Most University of Surrey student accommodation is based in Guildford to make getting to campus easy. This is great news for students, as not only is Guildford a beautiful place to live, but it has a great transport system that makes getting around a breeze too. There are several ways to navigate the town, the main two modes of transport are by bus or train, but lots of students choose to walk or cycle depending on their destination.

By Bus

The bus is one of the best ways to get around Guildford due to the many stops around the town and surrounding areas within Surrey, such as Bramley, Shackleford, Cranleigh, and Dunsfold.

By Train

Guildford Train Station connects you with many parts of the country with most services run by South Western Railway. In addition, the station is only a short walk from the University of Surrey, so if you choose to find your student housing in Surrey somewhere other than Guildford, you’ve got an easy connection to campus.

 

Featured neighbourhoods around Surrey student accommodation

City Centre

Like many university towns, the city centre is a popular choice for students to live in. The cost of accommodation will also be higher the closer you are to the action, but that can be a worthwhile trade-off if you’re someone who likes having everything you need on your doorstep. Guildford city centre is a great area to find Surrey student accommodation, being close to campus and the Guildford train station, while also having lots of nightlife and activities to keep you busy between study sessions. So for a cheeky pint, head on over to The Star Inn or The Alley Bar, and then dance the night away at Rubix, a popular on-campus nightclub.

 

Guildford Park

Just south of the University of Surrey’s main campus is Guildford Park, another popular area for University of Surrey student accommodation. What this area lacks in nightlife, it makes up for in location, meaning you’re only ever a short walk to lectures. You’re also not far from the train station, which is great for those wanting to get away for the weekend and see friends and family in other parts of the country. For those not wanting to head into town for a drink, you’ve got the odd pub to frequent, such as the Astolat. You’ve also got a large Tesco nearby; technically, it’s in the next suburb of Park Barn, another popular student area, but it’s right by Guildford Park.

 

Stoughton 

North of the University of Surrey’s main campus is Stoughton, a highly-populated student area due to the cost. So, if you want to keep your spending down, Stoughton is the area for you. Unfortunately, there isn’t much nightlife or activities, but you’re only a short bus ride away from the action. Plus, you’re close to the university, so that’s a win!
