Living in Guildford
All our courses are non-residential. Some students live at home while they study. However, many of you will need to find somewhere to live. There’s a wide range of accommodation in Guildford to suit all pockets. Our accommodation finder covers a maximum of a 12 mile radius of the College, although most properties are well within this distance.
