Wondering why many students choose Scape for their Guildford School of Acting housing each year. With world-class buildings designed with students in mind, you'll find everything you need to make the most of your student life and time at university. Our building is safe and secure with 24/7 reception, offers a great sense of community, and is located in a great spot 5 minutes from town and the Stag Hill campus. To help make your life easier, your student room at Scape comes with all bills included, no guarantor is needed, and you have access to our modern facilities such as an on-site gym, cinema room and landscaped courtyard – everything you need to live uni life to the full! Come and have a look for yourself and make Scape the university home of your choice.   

When choosing your GSA uni student accommodation, you have a few options, depending on your year. If you are entering your first year of university, your choice is typically between university halls and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), such as Scape. University halls are a great option for many for student housing. Still, they tend to be quite basic in terms of facilities, and often, you have randomly selected a room regardless of your preferences. Getting an en-suite room can be very difficult – which could mean sharing a bathroom with up to six others.

At Scape, on the other hand, all our rooms are en-suite as standard, our shared spaces are premium and newly refurbished, and you can access excellent facilities such as a state-of-the-art on-site gym and cinema room. Compared to other PBSAs, our shared spaces and facilities are of a higher standard, and we have fully trained Scape staff on-site 24/7.

In your second or third year, you will likely have limited options if you wish to live in halls on the Surrey University campus, but you can move into private accommodation such as a flat or live in a house shared with friends. With this option, there is no guarantee of an en-suite room either. Typically, privately rented student houses are not of the highest quality, your bills won't be included, you may have a tricky landlord, and you have no staff support. You could instead choose to live in one of our large apartments with friends and continue to enjoy all the benefits that Scape offers, including not having to worry about bills and getting your communal areas cleaned regularly. 

Want to get a feel for what life at Scape is like? Book a tour or create your viewing itinerary to explore our spaces, check out the local area, and chat with our friendly team—it's the perfect way to picture your next chapter.  

It's easy to book your next student home with us. You can book via the website or contact the sales team via live chat or email bookings.uk@scape.com to secure your room. Booking via the website takes 10 minutes to complete. Firstly, choose your preferred room type. For the first step of the booking process, you must select the booking period and floor you wish to book. Once you're happy to proceed, you must create a Scape account and fill in your contact information. Then, review and sign your tenancy contract and put down a deposit. Your booking is then confirmed. 

Rates at Scape Guildford start from £250 per week, all bills included. Whether you're after a studio or a shared apartment, you'll find options to suit your needs and budget, and no surprise costs.  

Remember—if you're receiving a student housing allowance or bursary, you can use this to pay your rent at Scape. Just let our team know during the booking process, and we'll guide you through any necessary documentation.  

If you don't want to miss out on your perfect room but need a few days to think about it, we'd recommend putting a room on hold. This can be done by selecting your ideal room, creating a Scape account, and submitting your contact info. We will then take the room off the market and allow you up to 72 hrs to complete the final steps of the booking journey. You will receive an email confirming your room choice has been saved. 

You couldn't live much closer to campus if you tried. Scape is less than a 20-minute walk from Guildford School of acting campus for proximity to lectures. It is an excellent location as you're also less than a 10-minute walk from Guildford mainline train station, bus station and the high street with all its shops, pubs and restaurants. Guildford is only a 40-minute train journey from central London.  

Absolutely! Whether you're staying with us in your first year and would like to book again for your second year, or you're new to Scape and looking at different options for your second, third or even your postgraduate year, you're most welcome here, nor lodging. Our community is incredibly diverse and inclusive, and we have something to offer everyone, regardless of where you are in your higher education journey.
