The wifi keeps dropping out and in when travelling throughout the uni. However, when inside a building, at the beggining of the year, it was brilliant. Near the end of the year however, they started doing construction work to improve the wifi, meaning that our year had to suffer for you guys!
Royal Holloway is a good university IF in your 3 year stay you don't need any extra support. My friends as well as myself faced some issues out of our control during our time at university. Royal Holloway has 'support' in place... or so in theory. When you actually need it no one knows anything and help is anything but available. Study at this uni if you are sure nothing happens to you in those three years because the support is non existent. Not to mention the unmptivating lectures who really are not interested in students.
Great location and beautiful campus. It has a small student population, which is really nice, and it's very diverse.
Needs more night life but it's what you make of it really
Good university, picturesque and excellent societies
Not nearly enough revision spaces
Really good Uni but far away from everything
Lovely community feel on campus with lots of welcoming societies. Club nights could use improvement.
Royal Holloway is the best uni to have fun. However, the campus lacks on restaurants and bars. Egham is not the best town i ve ever seen, but people are great.
Excellent campus and facilities. Course very enjoyable.
Great University, amazing people, crap SU!
Yes it is very good, i'm very pleased with it
So far staying here has been great, i've met loads of great people
The academic and social facilities here at Royal Holloway are amazing and the actual campus is beautiful. However the WiFi could be improved
Royal Holloway is a great place to study. Some of the facilities are a little out of date but there is much work being down updating them and the stuff more then make up for it. The only problem is the students union which is far to over priced and a bit rubbish but as long as you get drunk enough in pre drinks it wouldn't ruin your night.
It okay I guess. Looks pretty, but is a building site atm
I enjoy the campus experience but I think the socials could provide more volunteer works
Loving my time here so far, a fair bit to do around the uni and nice and close to plenty of places to go, i.e. London, Windsor, Kingston, Reading
Stunning campus, few societies compared to other unis, but still fun
There is however a lack of nightlife
One of the most beautiful universities. Very caring staff. Neat and clean residence. High speed WiFi.
The founders building is incredible but don't base your whole opinion on the building. Royal Holloway is situated in Egham which is very dull. The campus is relatively small and so the night life is very crowded. There are just pubs and a small SU. If you like the small homely feel of university then this Uni is ideal. But in my opinion, it's too small to feel like a University. The food is really good though!
The nicest community of students you will ever come across
I love my University and courses, the SU is lacking but there is an awesome Pub to head to on a Monday, they are currently dealing with the lack of study spaces which definately was neccessary.
Literally the most fantastic place. Beautiful campus. Brilliant courses and lecturers
I am still studying at Royal Holloway. I am really enjoying my time here. My classes are really good. I am part of the women's football team which is really fun and part of many clubs very well organized and entertaining.
It is a beautiful university with great societies and sport options and a brilliant careers centre. The only thing that can let it down are pricy drinks at the su and student bars.
Great and beautiful uni but the su can be a bit disappointing
College is damm beautiful and people are friendly. Campus security is also good here.
Internet is surprisingly good here, I get about 10mb/s on average, the student union is overpriced and generally takes ages to get served, but there's a much better bar called Medicine a short walk away near The Hub. Unfortunately the SU is seemingly the only place down South, or at least in Surrey, to sell Red Stripe lager. So I dunno.
Beautiful, great energy amongst students, always something to do
Absolutely beautiful campus and some excellent accommodation (Kingswood aside, it's 20 mins walk away and you'll often have either no power or hot water). The new library due 2017 looks like it'll be amazing. The SU is pretty decent but not huge, Medicine is okay and Stumble Inn is currently flooded and not open. Spirits, however, cost a fair bit (£6 for a double vodka and red bull??) although pints aren't too bad (£3ish), so it can be cheaper to drink off-campus. The uni seems good for career opportunities and the internet in my halls was great, 95 mbs download speed and there's WiFi across campus.
Lovely university, very friendly, beautiful surroundings
Not like normal universities in cities. Mostly on campus. But always events going on. And coaches to London for nights out are cheap and good fun. Friendly atmosphere as well.
Communal atmosphere with good facilities
There are so many societies that are available and even if they are to do with a course you're not studying or a culture you're not a part of - you're still able to join and feel just as much involved.
Royal Holloway, University of London is not really IN London but it makes up for that being an epic community of people, which most of them being international, which makes it very interesting and a unique experience.
Wide range of facilities and societies. Wifi connection is not constant all over the campus
Wish there was a swimming pool and more options for clubbing.lots of societies though.
It's pretty and we have deer and foxes but also you're going to feel like you just survived the apocalypse with the only other people on earth pretty quickly.
Beautiful campus university with a forest area/lake going through the middle of it. All the amenities. You can go weeks without leaving campus! Supermarket and train station about a mile away. Lots of opportunities to be involved in clubs and societies. Even opportunities to create your own. Support system out of this world. You are never left without the help you need. Halls stylish and modern, maintenance complaints dealt with quickly. Double beds in the new halls. Catering is pretty standard. I had about 2 instances in my entire first year when the internet was down. Lots of jobs available on campus. Jobs fairs happen in the su during the year. Fresh fruit and veg market in the su once a week as well as occasional poster sales and plant sales and vintage sales. Fantastic university. Founders building is stunning and a perfect place to chill. Come and study here!
2nd year - first year was fab.. Bring on the second!
Amazing place that can not be challenged friendly, outgoing unique people.
really nice uni, lovely campus. Great lecturers and a friendly feel to everything
Stunning campus based university with all you need with in the walls of the uni.
A beautiful campus, where I've had the time of my life so far.
Love the Uni, homely but fun. Lots of lovely people and a beautiful campus
A brilliant university with helpful students, amazingly beautiful campus and many employment prospects.
Amazing experience in every aspect
campus is not bad, wish there were more ppl in d societies. because some societies only hve 2 or 3 ppl turning up? Food has improved over the years so well done. But still alot more room for improvement, really. lol. Imagine has changed so that is good. One more thing, rhul is in the most boring town ever. 1st 2 years were bad for me because i found d town depressing. but by my 3rd year, i started to proper adjust to Egham life. a very simple n slow paced life. :) campus feels very very safe and it is so international and that's what i love most about rhul!
For a university based in such a small town, there is surprisingly always something to do, whether it be taking part in a society or going to one of the libraries/bars. I've had a great first year here and couldn't be happier.
Great university, wasn't to happy to begin with but it really grows on you, the SU is rubbish but you learn to love it. Loads of career opportunities everywhere, tons of societies I swear there is one for everything
Beautiful campus, good lecturers, plenty to get involved in. Facilities could be improved if there was more space on campus. Su is bit shifty for a night out but you just have to get super drunk... night life is also not great due to the location of the area
The library does not have enough resources nor space. The sports area is well equiped. Clubs and societies are very active. The music is not the greatest at the SU, but it is a nice environment as most students tend to go due to it being the only club in Egham. The internet is efficient.
Over 75 clubs and socs to join! Campus is so pretty and only 40 mins from Central London! Enjoy Virginia Water! SU hosts the best nights e.g. paint and foam parties, ACS, Bhangra, Tim Westwood, MTV nights and more. Live during freshers!
I absolutely love it, the best choice i've ever made was coming here
Beautiful campus with a personality, second to none
Beautiful campus with amazing teachers and facilities. Good structure within the departments and general school organization. A well rounded school offering many different subjects and extracurricular activities for students. The wifi tends to periodically stop working but it depends on location. The departments are very dedicated to making sure students find careers after graduating a huge plus in today's economy. One limit is lack of variety in work; science and math department's are required to write multiple essay's which within certain departments doesn't make sense as a way to test knowledge. A boarder range of work for students would be extremely helpful for students to learn.
A great campus atmosphere, great lecturers and a beautiful campus (especially Founders building and the Boilerhouse). A wonderful place to study.
I could not recommend royal holloway more. The whole experience is absolutely incredible. The societies are a particular highlight!
Had a ball at Royal Holloway, excellent courses and lecturers, lots of Halls options, great nightlife.
it was such a brilliant experience studying here!
Studying at Royal Holloway University of London is absolutely great. Campus amazing, courses and academic staff super nice, great job offers if you work well. Party hard, work harder !
Good uni, needs more swimming pool
Lack promotion of societies Lack of range of the book and space in the library
From when I started looking at unis at A-Level to coming on an open to then studying here, Royal Holloway has always been my first choice. You have the benefits of campus life with a nice community feel while being placed in between london, reading and windsor. It'It's just the best experience you could want in a uni!
Review Royal Holloway University of London
Magnificent campus, many opportunities, nice people, interesting course with good seminar classes.
Cons?
Could teach more hours
