Royal Holloway - RHUL
speciality: English Language & Literature

7/10 would recommend.
Royal Holloway is a welcoming, helpful and tight-knit campus uni. What it lacks in nightlife and city life within its surrounding areas of Egham, it makes up for in its ever-active campus lifestyle. The Students’ Union is one of the most active and attentive i’ve ever encountered. There are always events to attend – many of them free or low-cost. Sadly, there is only one club – that is the SU club, however this proves itself useful at times as everyone is in one place and you are bound to stumble into people you know and have a good chat.

I’ve never witnessed a campus with so many societies, ever – and they are all pretty active. Varsity is fun, also. There are coffee shops, pubs and a student shop (although the prices are extortionate). When it’s spring/summer and everyone’s on the founder’s quad, it feels like an american college.

A downside to Egham is its price, luckily you get a London loan but you also have to pay London prices without being remotely close to central London.

All-in-all, you are guaranteed to have a true uni-experience at Royal Holloway if you get stuck in and make the most of it. Plus, don’t forget to take lots of photos of Founders.

Adore the course – from learning plays to knowing more about the authors that wrote great novels. It goes back to the early years of writing to now the modern era. They have a wide selection that students can choose from module vice. I could not be happier to choose a course this good.
