I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Royal Holloway. Despite many people warning me of a small campus university, offering little nightlife and far away from London, I found the opposite. Yes, Holloway is further from the city than a typical ‘University of London’, but it’s green space and beautiful Founders building somewhat makes up for this. If you’re seeking more of a campus feel then this university is definitely for you. I was concerned that the nightlife was not going to be varied enough for me (with only two clubs on campus), however, I quickly found that the variety in themed nights and excitement of first year life was varied enough for me. The Students’ Union is a great support on campus and I have found they have been approachable and productive in dealing with issues both on and off campus. I found the student accommodation I had in my first year (Runnymede 1), was good, however advertised slightly differently on the website when I was initially applying for accommodation. However, I soon loved it and settled in quickly. I would definitely advise anyone looking for accommodation in their first year to properly research it though – this goes for any university you are looking at! Overall I have loved Holloway (as someone who is graduating next week), and would recommend it to anyone 🙂
