University of Surrey International Study Centre

University accommodation

When you are choosing a university the choice, quality, location and cost of accommodation on offer are important factors. Our Accommodation Office will help you find the right place to live, on or off campus, at affordable rents throughout your time at Surrey.

Guaranteed accommodation

All first-year students are normally guaranteed a place in University accommodation. Living on campus is a great way to meet new people and find your feet. Our students find it easy to settle in when they first move to the University, and we do everything we can to make sure you feel at home. Our accommodation is arranged in groups of self-catered housing called Courts of Residence and has been designed to meet your needs and provide you with a living space of your own.

A place to be proud of:

• Our accommodation is designed to make you feel at home
• Over 1800 rooms in the newest courts have en suite shower and toilet facilities
• Groups of students share a kitchen-breakfast room
• All communal areas (kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and corridors) are non-smoking
• Most of the accommodation is mixed-sex, but we do reserve areas for those who prefer single-sex accommodation

Residential facilities

All University student bedrooms have fast, unlimited, free broadband. Student kitchens are equipped with cookers, refrigerators and freezers and students bring their own cooking utensils and crockery. Students provide their own bed linen. Duvets and pillows are provided in Battersea and University Court but not in Manor Park. To help with day-to-day living, there are modern laundrettes, a post office, bank, bookshop, grocery store and newsagent on the Stag Hill campus close to student residences. Large supermarkets and a halal grocery store are nearby and a weekly fruit and vegetable market is held on campus.

Accommodation throughout your degree

International undergraduates are normally offered a place in University accommodation for the duration of their degree programmes. This policy is reviewed annually.

Accommodation for students with disabilities

Specially adapted rooms are available for students with physical impairments. Please see the Accommodation Office web pages for more information.
