Choosing Surrey

I chose to study Music at Surrey as it not only has a lot of good facilities, it's also a safe and quiet campus. Also, compared to other universities, the tuition fees at Surrey are not expensive which is very important for international students like me.

Best things about Surrey

One of the best things is the people. I was studying abroad for the first time when I was at Surrey; I was very shy, but my teachers and classmates were very lovely and patient. They encouraged me to adapt to the English environment and learn about the culture.

The Surrey campus is very beautiful. I loved walking down to the lake to read my book, which was surrounded by many birds and trees. I left all my pressure behind every time I got to the lake. 

One of the best things about my course is that I can practise my music whenever I want! The practice rooms are open for Music and Media students 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It was amazing.

Being a postgraduate student

The best thing about life at Surrey was that we were always challenging perceptions and skills in our classes through many group discussions and presentations. I learned how to work cooperatively with groups, as well as challenge myself to be a braver person and express myself on my own.

Careers

I plan to become a better singer and get on a bigger stage in the future, also learn other skills to become a useful person to society.
