Welcome Freshers! 

The University of Surrey Students’ Union (USSU) is first and foremost here to represent you as a student of the University of Surrey.

As a student here at Surrey you are automatically a member of the USSU so we encourage everyone to make the most of the Union from Day 1.

The Union is split into four zones; Voice, Activity, Support, and Community, and this is just to ensure that all aspects of your student life are covered. Each zone is led by a full time, paid, officer that is Vice-President and these are all led by the President of the Union. As they are taking time out of their studies to take up this role, we call them Sabbaticals, or Sabbs, and they should be the first people you can turn to if you have an issue. The Sabbs office is always open and is in the main Union building, so make sure to come and say hi.

Where are we?

We are situated in the heart of the University grounds, just past Starbucks!

Freshers' Angels

When you first arrive at Surrey you will be welcomed by a whole team of Angels; be sure to look out for these guys! They will be around to help you with anything you may need such as finding your halls and answering any queries about where things are. You'll know who they are because of their sunny yellow t-shirts!

Warning: They will often spontaneously start doing the Moving In Dance
