Campus is almost perfect, there are food trucks around and the Hub which has great food lunch I must admit. There are numerous societies too, which i go to join many. One being running club where one of our routes is going around our campus, which explains how big and spacious it really is. Career service are very helpful, they directed me to many helpful websites etc.

Brilliant place, the teachers are wonderful and the actual campus is both diverse and has really good study spaces. I will say, the entire campus is on an uphill, which makes it quite hard to navigate sometimes, but it is 100% worth it
The staff at Royal Holloway are very good - it is hard at first to realise that you are now responsible for yourself but if you make the effort to reach out, then there are many different teams available that offer help.
My experience at university has been up and down with Covid however overall it has been a nice community helping me to learn and grow. All the facilities and societies have been good and the university is a lovely and aesthetic place to study.
Campus facilities are alright some of the shops are pricy for students but alright.

RHUL is a great campus not only is it nice to look at but it has great people and staff
The campus is in a quiet area with everything you need inside the campus. You can easily go to the towns close: Windsor, Staines, where you can find basically everything you want. The SU, different departments have a lot of events, so you can find anything for yourself. You are supported in every way if you seek for it.
Upon stepping onto campus, everyone including students and staff have been really helpful and welcoming. There are many campus facilities to use, especially love the Library, there are so many spaces to study. I love it. I am not a party go-er therefore I don't think my review for the SU is accurate. So far, there have been many career fairs and I know that I could make appointments with the career consultant if I ever need help. I know that the school has done a lot to extend help to students!
The main campus is amazing but the campus in central london for postgraduate international students who pay twice the fees should be improved a lot
So far the teachers are very approachable and easy going.The University as a whole is very supportive and I'm glad I chose this university.
The campus is amazing and the clubs/ societies and student union is so fun. Its nice that everything is so close and you know many people and see them often.
Very helpful staff and friendly too!
I live here third year in a row and I think it’s the best student accommodation to live in while studying at Royal Holloway. Rooms are cozy and equipped with everything you need, staff are always friendly and helpful and there are also some nice study/social common areas in the building. It is also extremely convenient in terms of the location, all the shops and cafes are nearby, as well as train station and bus station, by train you can get to the centre of London in 30-40 minutes and one bus goes directly to Heathrow Terminal 5, so the location is just 100/10. Really recommend it!
It is in a great location with nearby shops like Tesco and Waitrose and the train station is less that 5 mins by walk. There is also convenient access to the university via walking or bus. The rooms are cozy and issues are resolved fast
Everything is generally acceptable, only the Wi-Fi connection is really bad.
Royal Holloway is a great university, very close knit as it has quite a small campus and full of familiar faces.
Overall a really nice university with a community sort of feel. It would be nice if there was another shop on campus or more food options.
Really beautiful campus, with lovely staff who are always willing to help.
Good uni. I probably would’ve had a better experience had I not been a commuter
The campus is very nice and teachers are good
My experience over the past two years has been exceptionally positive. The accommodations include an ensuite room equipped with a well-appointed kitchen featuring a kettle, stove, microwave, and toaster. The shower offers both high water pressure and consistent hot water. The Wi-Fi connection is remarkably fast. Additionally, I appreciate the convenience of a marker board in the room, useful for jotting down notes or working through mathematical equations. The kitchen is spacious and impeccably clean, avoiding the cramped, claustrophobic feel typical of university housing. The parcel delivery system is highly efficient: upon arrival of a package, the staff promptly completes any necessary paperwork and notifies me via email. I can then collect my parcel from reception simply by signing for it. This contrasts favorably with university systems, which often involve delays and are restricted to business hours. Overall, my residency has been thoroughly enjoyable.
Royal Holloway is a magical blend of old-world charm and modern vibrancy. The architecture on the old campus feels like stepping into Hogwarts, with its timeless allure. Yet, the modern library and other campuses transport you to the present day. The library is a personal favorite, providing a perfect ambiance for studying. Each study space is thoughtfully designed, and the atmosphere created by the books and fellow students is truly inspiring. The staff is friendly, and my course teachers are not just knowledgeable but also make studying enjoyable and fun. The Student Union keeps things exciting with a variety of events, ensuring there's always something happening. Joining societies is a gateway to a world of diverse cultures, hobbies, and interests.
It’s okay idrk im new but seems decent
Good university, however a lot of miscommunication between the departments. Some departments/people as well as student union are not always aware of all their responsibilities. So if you have an enquiry or problem, don't be surprised if you end up going around with no one helping you.
RHUL has a good reputation. The campus is beautiful and there’s many facilities. Teachers and students are very friendly.
It has a great environment to study in. There are enough facilities to use on campus. During the time at Royal Holloway, you can not only learn from lessons but also have the opportunity to gain more knowledge when collaborating with other students.
Great place to pursue a wide range of studies and especially interesting interdisciplinary courses situated in a peaceful, student friendly, and safe area.
Amazing university but there are some issues like internet and better quality food could be provided
The most beautiful campus lives up to its name.
I chose to study at Royal Holloway because of its high ranking on the subject I am studying
Royal Holloway is one of the top universities of Uk with all facilities on campus making it the prettiest campus in the Uk.
Greta university in a brilliant area!
Amazing i love the people and the campus
Nice experience. Could host more events
Good university very hard working environment and just an all around good spot to be
I think that social event is really interesting
It's quite a nice, small campus based university. It has what you need but improvements could be made to careers services as they are only online.
The university is too focused on making profit for example, you need parking permits to park and they often close parking for filming companies such as Netflix. Lecture materials are poor and the actual lectures lack quality.
I have not got a single bad thing to say about Royal Holloway. Absolutely stunning university, I am so glad I chose to come study here. I am a final year student and I am very sad to leave because I have enjoyed my experience here so much.
Good uni good teachers and good campus
beautiful, well-kept campus. decent learning facilities, good wifi. quiet area - maybe not ideal for people who want to be around vibrant night life however the on-campus student union and student bars are always busy and running events so it tends to keep people happy :)
It’s okay nothing special, The campus itself is very pretty tho!
Loved studying and living here so much! Will miss it a lot.
A good University shame about the location !
Could have more sports facilities and parking for commuting students as the current situation is poor
The campus is beautiful and amazing.
Good uni, can be better though especially the IT department
Royal Holloway is a fantastic University
It’s a good university with a great campus
Royal holloway has a few improvements necessary for it to be of good satisfaction. But again the experience is worth it.
The worst student experience of my life. Everything about this university has been expensive, hard, and boring. The staff are unsupportive and lazy, they never want to actually listen and help. The town and university has nothing fun or interesting to do. I know so many people who dropped out and joined other universities and are much happier now. I wish I dropped out too.
Interesting modules and all the professors are friendly!
All what you need from a university and more
Great learning materials engaging lectures and workshops
The university is in an isolated place. There is not much to do. The english department has a high quality of teaching. I like my accommodation but many do not.
It feels like a big boarding school so is very cosy. They try to organise many events to make up for the quiet neighbourhood which is always nice.
Dead uni in general, not much to say
Great place with helpful people.
This is a beautiful castle. It's very beautiful! I love everything here. Friendly teachers and classmates. Positive learning atmosphere and perfect learning scene.
Amazing campus. Perfect connection for studying.
Greatest Student Union in UK imo
Great courses and great place to study, clubs and societies were also amazing both before and during the pandemic. Highly supportive lecturers. Just wish it were closer to London 😆
The campus itself is stunning with the views amazing while also the teaching and lecturers make everything understandable. On campus the facilities for example the library is very good while also having Starbucks and many other food and drink places on campus
The Accomodation is very close to the town center and the train station
Great campus and vibe, you’ll never feel alone
Very happy here, I’ll certainly miss it when I graduate
A beautiful university campus with friendly staff and a variety of opportunities to get stuck in with!
I've been here for a couple of months now, and I am very impressed by the setting, and atmosphere at the Garage. You always feel welcome and at home when you arrive, and there are a wide range of activities offered. The services are also just as good, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go with private accommodation.
Incredible campus, everything is very cool and nice.
The campus really is beautiful, very nice to walk around outside and founders is a unique and lovely building. All of my lecturers are engaging and helpful. However nights out suck, the two small venues host events once a week which both feel like school discos. Sports are good but societies feel rather lacklustre so flatmates tend to just hang around in kitchens. It’s not near enough to London to get there regularly and Egham is not somewhere anyone wants to be so you feel kind of stuck here. The student body is just too small, I feel like I’ve met everyone and I’ve been here less than two months. It’s also completely deserted at the weekend and honestly rather depressing. Basically you’ll be okay if you get on with flatmates and like a quiet environment rather than vibrant social/nightlife
The campus is beautiful and clean, and the teachers are in charge.
An amazing experience with modern facilities and kind and helpful teachers and students.
Very nice campus with lots of clubs and activities
Beautiful campus and very friendly staff.
Very good university. With lots of learning spaces to help revise and learn. Teaching is done to a high level with lots of support for students
You can find everything you need as well as the facalty being extremely helpful
Incredible campus and dedicated teachers
Royal Holloway has an amazing campus, and good facilities
Royal Holloway has a beautiful campus and one of the most unique buildings in the world.
Wifi is strong especially at point like the library or lecture buildings. The campus overall is very clean and well kept with modern infrastructure
Great facilities beautiful campus friendly people
the staff is always super helpful and has managed to solve any problems i’ve had in very little time! they also go above and beyond to make sure i’m having a comfortable and enjoyable experience
Good university with a friendly environment The campus is in a nice location
this is of the most beautiful campus in London, I love it so much .And I am glad to study in there and meet more friends to start a new life
Came here to study Data Sciences , but college don't give a f*** about your career. Even if you get a job these so called scholar Professor of Data science department will come up with something stupid to stop you from getting successful. Their way of teaching also sucks although university is not bad. I hope someone in the administration stops these fool professors of Data science.
Overall it was a helpful and friendly environment on campus. Due to covid many clubs and societies didn’t run however there were many interesting societies. In addition, as a lot of this year was online I was wasn’t aware of many facilities and services so it would have been better if they let everyone know about these services early on this year.
It’s a good university with a beautiful campus and great amenities ie EWD building. The lecturers/seminar tutors are also supportive and extremely good at what they do
Great history department with supportive teaching staff
Everything is fantastic, I love it
Very nice, but small campus university
Although it's a gorgeous campus, the surrounding area doesn't have much to do. The clubs and societies are also quite expensive to join, plus the gym is small and expensive. There are some great places to eat around campus and the library is quite good (although I think the addition of the commuter hub that guaranteed spaces for commuting students in the library should be something that stays permanently) The biological sciences department was really good and I liked having a personal tutor as a first point of call when it came to any problems with the course of even the uni itself.
Unfortunately I could not participate in clubs and societies due to the pandemic. There was also a lack of information regarding these clubs. However, everything else about the university is very good.
I am very pleased with my choice of university. Royal Holloway is a big university that is situated just outside of London so I can go sightseeing whoever I decide to. The university itself is very well organised and one can easily use the services provided - such as Careers one.
Nice campus based uni experience
Regardless of few lessons being in person, the uni has pt of facilities open to offer students
The university doesn’t have enough for students! More food stalls needed It’s a beautiful campus though The library needs better WiFi
Great university and handled the pandemic very well.
Great uni with good modern facilities. Great teaching and support.
Lovely really good uni xxxxxxxxx
Going to Royal Holloway has been a brilliant experience, the professors are great, and I have undoubtedly made lifelong friends here
