Halls Of Residence At The University Of Surrey

Reading the reciews on this subject, I noticed that the newest review was from 2002 and the most expensive rent band was £65 per week!!! So I thought it about time this got some updating. Rent now ranges from £54.30 for a duplex room to £115 for the top band. The rent is charged weekly (although collected monthly) and includes all bills (gas/elec, water, internet). The only added bill you need to pay for is if you require a TV licence. Cleaners come in 2/3 times a week to take rubbish and clean the kitchen and bathrooms however students have to clean their own bedrooms. The rent bands are: A- £54.30 B- £69 C-£76 D- £94 E- ...  Read the complete review

One of the good things about the uniS accommodation is the variety, you've got really posh places with ensuite shower rooms to duplexes where you have to share you life with someone you've never met, to Hazel Farm which is 3 miles from campus, but is by far the cheapest.

We also had a cleaner which was great! There is also an intercom to the front door at twyford court so you ...  Read the complete review

I left home and headed for halls, my brother stayed at home and my friend stayed in private accommodation. What shall I do you cry....well here are some pointers: IN HALLS: You can have cheap (council flat look alike) to more expensive modern house accommodation. Of course this will all depend on your finances. If your like me with very little cash you'll opt for the latter. I was put into 'Surrey court' level four in a flat called 'Wey'. ...  Read the complete review

One of the main advantages of the residences at Unis is that they are cheaper than off-campus accomodation with rents from £33 (shared split level room) to £65 (with ensuite)(please note these are approximate costs), with the exception of the ensuite rooms you will be lucky to find anything cheaper in Guildford. Also most halls are located on the main campus with Gill Avenue approx 10 min walk away and Hazel Farm absolutely miles away on the north edge of Guildford (probably around 30 mins walk but I got lost the only time I walked from there so I could be wrong) meaning that it tends to be a good idea to catch the bus (which was free but I'm not sure if it still ...  Read the complete review
