Final comments
I have left this university after being very disappointed with it. All my recommedations are from surrey university alone, and they do not apply to the UK in general. I have gone to Hertfordshire University now, and love it. The people are a lot more friendly, and welcoming. I left as so many other of my friends including UK citizens just left. They hated it like me. The university campus buildings are dirty and ugly, the only nice part is lake. There are so many better ones to go to, like my mates are at Southampton exeter bristol and bath, and they love them, so different to surrey. Spend your money somewhere else, PLEASE
