Room Information

We have over 5000 rooms of various types to suit all budgets. All our Courts, as we call the halls of residence at Surrey, are self-catering with shared kitchen facilities, except for the studio flats (band F) at Manor Park. Almost all rooms are single, although we also have 86 split-level shared rooms (called duplex rooms) in Stag Hill Court, and 40 studio flats at Manor Park that are suitable for couples.

Room bands

Rooms are banded from A to E according to price and amenities. Details of typical rooms in each price band are available from the links below. Applicants may indicate their preferred Band and Campus of rooms, but should be aware that these are preferences only and we cannot guarantee to allocate exactly what has been indicated.

Accessible or adapted rooms

We have a number of rooms throughout the Courts that have been adapted to meet the requirements of students with disabilities, such as wheelchair accessibility or deaf adaptions. If you would like details of what support or adaptions are available, please contact the Additional Learning Support department to discuss your needs.
