Before you arrive
- Before you arrive in the UK, make sure you've arranged your accommodation. This will ensure there are no difficulties with confirming your course at immigration, and that you have a place to live when you arrive.
- Check where and when to collect your room keys. Key collection details are outlined in your room offer.
- If you will be staying in University residence, ensure you have arranged your bedding. A bedding pack can be purchased from the University’s online store.
Act early if you can
Our accommodation is now available to book. Act fast to increase your chances of priority room allocation.
Arranging your own accommodation privately
If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are staying less than 60 minutes away from Surrey International Study Centre.
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
Booking your accommodation
Your next steps for booking your room
It is important to arrange your accommodation before you arrive in the UK. Not only will this give you peace of mind that you know where you will be staying, this will ensure that you have no difficulty confirming your course at immigration or police registration (if required).
- Request accommodation when you apply for the International Study Centre.
- Confirm your place at the International Study Centre.
- The Central Student Support team will then contact you with information about the next steps you need to take to book your accommodation. If you applied directly through our online application form, your Student Enrolment Advisor will answer any questions you have about your accommodation options, the facilities offered and what you need to bring with you.
Please note, the accommodation options available may depend on your study start date. Once you have confirmed your place on the course – and have indicated on your application that you would like International Study Centre accommodation – we will contact you to advise you on the residences available to you.
Arrange your room
If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Central Student Services who are available for any help or advice you may need.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
