The secret life of a Surrey commuter and single mum

I am a second-year Politics student, as well as a commuter and single parent. So how do I juggle everything? This semester, I had in-person teaching only on Monday and Tuesday, so out of the four modules, one was on Monday, and three were on Tuesday. This meant that I was able to work and […]


My open day experience: What to expect and why you should attend

My experience Choosing a university is a huge decision, and for me, the University of Surrey stood out from the very start. My journey began when I was about 15 years old, during a school trip where I was lucky enough to visit the campus. Even then, I loved the feel of the place—the open […]

On the day that I […]


University of Surrey Clearing experience

My journey through clearing

For my A-Levels I did Maths, Chemistry and Biology. You’re thinking the same thing as me, why on earth would someone want to put themselves through that (I still don’t know to this day)?  I originally wanted to do Medicine but changed my mind to study Natural Science before applying to university. Once I started studying […]
