anyone going Roehampton Uni 2012 ?

how is the actually uni?

Hey,
I've really enjoyed my time here so far, in 3rd year now. I think it's a nice place and all the staff I have encountered have been knowledgeable and supportive.
What course are you interested in? Was there a particular aspect of the Uni you wanted to know about specifically?

hi I want to do psychology.. wanted to know how good it is the psychology. In the league tables it isnt that high. Bt i dnt jus wna judge it on that.

Hi,

I don't do Psychology myself but I would definitely order a prospectus online if you haven't got one. The next Open Day is 16th November so it might be worth a visit too if you can get here easily, even if not on an Open Day, just to look around and see for yourself. I have seen some of the Psychology laboratories and they look pretty impressive.

Roehampton has 4 colleges and Psychology is based on the Whitelands campus, a 10 minute walk from the rest of the Uni. They have their own little community (lecture rooms, accommodation, social area, computer room) but also regularly come to the main campus for the library, Union, gym and events. If you came and preferred the accommodation on the main campus, that's always an option.

Hope this helps!

Hey
Thanks alot. It's good hearing it from a students prospective. I just wanted to apply before then so I dunno if I should risk it and apply there

You're welcome. That's fair enough. You could always come just to look around the campus yourself although you probably wouldn't be able to go into the laboratories and lecture rooms. You can do a self-guided tour: http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/admissions/opendays/tours.html.
If you do visit it might be worth giving Enquiries a ring or email on the off chance that you may be able to speak to a lecturer. Here's the link: http://studentzone.roehampton.ac.uk/studentenquiries/index.html
Good luck with your application!

Im going there On the 16th , what Bus do i take to get to southlands college when i get out from barnes station ? is it something like the 72?

Has anyone had any offers from Roehampton?
I've applied for Business Management and went to the open day on the 16th
I applied just over a week ago, but still don't have the conformation letter?
Also, whats the student life like?
Thanks

You can check out the RSU website: http://roehamptonstudent.com/ where you can find out what clubs, societies, sports, days out and trips away are on offer. The Uni has acoustic, comedy, quiz and bands nights. There is a weekly 'Bop' on a Friday where everyone gets dressed up and there's a DJ in the Union and adjoining hall until 2am. Places where students like to go in the day or evening include; Kingston, Putney, Richmond, Westfields and Hammersmith which are all within 15 minutes away on the bus. Central London isn't too far, even for a night out as there are night buses or a shared taxi for about £7 each, depending on where you go. It can take as little as 20 minutes to get there.
Hope that answers your question.
Good Luck with your application, I'm, sure you'll receive confirmation soon.

Are you going to Roehampton Uni in 2012 ?
if so what are you planning on studying ?

Are there any negative aspects of studying at Roehampton? Any complaints?

I have never heard of it!

I will use my internets ... wtf! its 97th according to the guardian 2012 league table . Cant you go anywhere else, its quite a challenge going to a worse place!

What are you planning to study?

I love the look of Roehampton, hopefully doing Criminology there. How close is it to the centre of London, close enough that everything costs about 4 times more than the rest of the country, or is it slightly further out?
