Welcome to Guildford! As a resident you are more than just a student, you are part of a community. Whether on campus in your first year or out in the various wards of Guildford during your second and third year in a private rented house, this is your new home.

The union works very hard to help you make the most of your time here and provides information to help you become a good neighbour to your fellow Guildfordians!
