Where in Guildford 2

1. Park Barn

Our officers say that Park Barn is great for students because:

It is much cheaper than other areas
It is easily walkable to all three campus' (and very close to Kate Granger and Manor Park)
It is near Tesco's and the Hospital
Typically it is off-road street parking, and you do not need a permit so there is lots of parking spaces
There are frequent bus routes into town and to campus
Lots of student housing available

But they say that it is typically poorer quality housing, and is far from the town centre.

2. Southway and Stoughton

Our officers say that Southway and Stoughton is great for students because:

Easily walkable to the University (5 - 15 minutes)
Free parking, although on-road parking can be competitive
There are lots of shops nearby, including 2 Co-ops, cafe's and take-away's
Frequent bus into town
Lots of student housing

But it can be further away from big supermarkets like Tescos, and is it a little further from town.

3. Woodbridge Hill

Our officers say that Woodbridge Hill is great for students because:

Lots of parking available on and off road
Some areas (like Northway) are very student friendly
Can be cheaper as it is further away from the University

But as it is mostly a residential area, it can be pricey and it tends to be further away from the University, town and main supermarkets.

4. Onslow Village, the Oval and St. Johns

Our officers say that Onslow village is great for students because:

Very close to the University, with only a 5 minute walk to Stag Hill campus
Close to tesco's and Manor Park campus, Surrey Sports Park and hospital (10/15 minute walk)
Close to the train station and town centre
Very desirable area for student

But as it is a very desirable location, it can be expensive. As it is closer to town, you will find that parking can be difficult too.

5/6. Guildford Park Avenue & Walnut Tree Close

Our officers say that Guildford Park Avenue and Walnut Tree Close is great for students because:

Very close to the Stag Hill campus, only 5 minute walk
Close to the train station and town centre (2-5 minute walk)
Very desirable area for students
Can be cheaper than Onslow Village, usually as the houses can be smaller in size.

But as it is a very desirable location, it can be expensive. As it is closer to town, you will find that parking can be difficult too, with most of it permitted with a waiting list. It is also far from Manor Park campus' and tescos.

7. Town Centre

Our officers say that the Town Centre is great for students because:

Close to Stag Hill campus, with good bus links to Manor Park and Tesco's and a direct bus to campus
Close to the train station
