As we approach the end of exams, we're bringing you our top tips for how to celebrate the end of exams in the most memorable way! If you have already finished all of your exams, then a massive congratulations from us to you. If you've still got more left to sit, then we're wishing you all the best for the last few exams. 

During Don't Worry Surrey, we've been alongside you with support and events to benefit your wellbeing throughout the exam period. Looking ahead to the last day of exams, keep reading for ideas on how you can celebrate at one of our events or venues!

Our Venues

Unlike other spaces on campus, these ones are different — because they’re your spaces. If you're looking for a memorable night out to celebrate the end of the exams, join us in Rubix for End of Year Show to end this academic year with a bang. 

If you're looking for a relaxing space to meet friends or grab a drink, come down to Hari's Bar or take on your friends in a game of pool in the Front Room. Great food is on offer over at Manor Park Social, and if the weather is good (we can hope!) then The Lake Bar is the perfect choice. 

Celebrating Safely

We know that reaching the end of the exams is a huge milestone and deserves the biggest celebration of the year. As your Union, we care about your wellbeing and always want to ensure you have the right support to celebrate safely, to be comfortable to be yourself, and to have the right advice on what to do if you need any help. 

If you're out at Rubix and need some support because you've lost your friends, need to charge your phone, or need help finding your way home, our super hero volunteers at Welfare Watch are your go-to. Wearing pink hi-vis jackets, find a volunteer and they'll help you finish your night off safely. 

The University has also created a great page of guidance on how to celebrate safely which you can find here. They helpfully cover advice about drinking, drug use, and how to get home safely from a night out. 

From your Union, we hope you have the best celebration of your year so far to commemorate the end of exams. If you're looking for your next memorable night with your friends, then we have our re-named, refreshed, and show-stopping Summer Ball coming up for you in July. Grab a ticket now so you don't miss out!

As the exam season ends, so does our exam support campaign, Don't Worry Surrey. Our advice service and commitment to your wellbeing is not coming to an end, however, and will continue over the summer and all year round! If you find yourself needing advice after the end of exams, whether about Extenuating Circumstances or about your results when you get them, don't hesitate to email ussu.advice@surrey.ac.uk. Your Union is in your corner, always.
