We know that finding housing in Guildford can be difficult and stressful, especially if you haven’t been able to secure University accommodation and are due to start your new University life in a few weeks. Our Advice service is trained in delivering housing advice to students, and are here to help with opportunities to seek support.

Housing Support Webinar

Our Advice team are teaming up with our on-campus lettings agents, Hoods Residential, to run a Housing Support Webinar. This session aims to equip you with the knowledge you need to find the right accommodation for you. The webinar will be taking place on Wednesday 20 August from 13:00 - 14:30 live on Microsoft Teams. 

Whilst we can't find a house for you, this webinar will cover: 

• Budgeting to live in Guildford
• Types of housing options
• Locations in Guildford and surrounding areas
• Where to look for a house
• Finding housemates
• What to look out for when renting privately

The webinar will end with a Q&A session in case you have any remaining questions.
