Strong academics and supportive community.

Tips: Transitioning here was easy. There was a bit of a cultural shift but there are a lot of people from my country of origin that you can converse with, also a lot of people are friendly here so talking with them will be easy and great. I didn't get any scholarships, because international undergraduate students from India can only apply for the International Excellence Award.

University with plenty of opportunities.

Tips: Students need to get to know about the course that they are taking. Should be mentally prepared to take care of themselves without anyone's support. It is really important for all international students. It is easier for them to sustain if they know a little bit of cooking.

Likes (Part time work): It is very easy to get part time from this location since it's near London. If you apply consistently and your CV looks good, then it's quite easy. You just need to focus on building ourselves and then you can get your part-time job within 1 or 2 months.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Different modes of public transportation are easily available. The bus stop is inside the campus. The railway station is very near the campus, with just 10 minutes walk. There are more than three bus stops inside the campus where you can expect buses very often.

An enriching and rewarding experience at the University of Surrey.

Tips: The University of Surrey offers strong academics great placements and a diverse community. Transitioning was smooth with mild cultural shifts. I earned a 5000 pounds merit scholarship. It is best to choose to study for me.

Likes (Student Life): The University of Surrey has a lively, inclusive and engaging campus atmosphere. My day usually includes group study sessions and spending time with friends at the hive or the lake. I enjoy the friendly community and the balance between academics and recreation the most. The campus hosts frequent events like cultural festivals career fair and all.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Authentic cuisine is quite limited around campus. Most nearby restaurants serve British, Italian or Asian fusion food with average prices ranging from 10-20 pounds per meal. I usually prefer cooking myself as it is more affordable and lets me enjoy the flavour of home.

MSc Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2026

4.1

College is good for technical subjects.I don't know about other field.

Tips: Know your faculty. Know your assessment type. Do deep research on your elective subject prior. Do pack food items for at least one month. Pack necessary utensils but not too many. Do not buy a costly laptop, the university has enough resources. Do not believe on YouTube influencer.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is available but it's costly. Cooking for yourself is cheap. Tesco, Lidl, coop are cheaper for students and the quality is also good. You can get mandatory items for one month for between 10 to 15 GBP. Bring 2 sports shoes, one for regular work and one for part time work.

Welcoming university and friendly people.

Tips: Be prepared for the initial cultural shock; the country and town are very different from India. Living alone in this new place will test you physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, if you stay focused and determined, you'll become a much more confident individual. Plan your finances and schedule your day carefully to complete your degree efficiently. Apply for as many scholarships as possible; they are helpful. I didn't because I lacked knowledge.

Likes (Safety): I have lived for 2 whole years in Guildford. I lived in a house outside the university, so I had no campus security, but it never ever felt unsafe to be anywhere in Guildford at any time of the day or night. Right from the very first day when I carried my suitcases all by myself from the railway station to my house at 1 AM in the night, to my last day in Guildford before I moved to London, I never felt unsafe anywhere in Guildford. I always found helpful people everywhere. Some even offered me a lift from Tesco to my home in their cars.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The university is located in Guildford which has limited Indian restaurants. Near the university you can find only two options. Eat Out Guildford is an affordable choice offering good portions at a reasonable price. For a more upscale experience Shah's in Guildford Town Centre is another option. Personally, I prefer cooking at home, as it's more affordable and healthier. Tesco and Lidl, both about a 15 minute walk from the university are convenient for grocery shopping. I recommend eating out occasionally.
