RHUL Accommodation Guide

where are the waiting lists? all the crap on the page i found is out of date :C (http://www.rhul.ac.uk/forstudents/housing/royalhollowayhalls/waitinglists.aspx)

Anyone heard anything about their accomodation applications yet?

All the halls are non-smoking, you can drink wherever the hell you want though :P

Pls as a postgraduate student coming in by Sept,can someone pls can someone pls give advice on postgraduate halls(Highfield, Victorian,Penrose,Runnymede and Gowar) in order of preference. I have applied but have not submitted my application.

As an undergraduate I don't have any experience of the postgraduate halls you've listed aside from Runnymede and Gowar, which are the two on campus. They're both very nice, with en suites, though Gowar is more modern and has double beds rather than singles. Gowar is also in a more green, quiet part of campus, though they're both very convenient.

I guess knowing whether or not you want to be on campus should help you order your preferences somewhat. I think Penrose is only a five minute walk from campus, across the road, basically, but I don't know much about what it's like to live there, and I know nothing about Highfield and the Victorian houses. As far as I can remember, Penrose isn't en suite, so that's something else to consider.

I'm guessing you've looked at the accommodation pages on the Royal Holloway website? Those should give you the specs and costs of the halls, and hopefully you should be able to make your decision based on your preferences- it depends what you're looking for, really!

Would love to see some pics of Reid please, if anyone has any?, it's my first choice, so probably won't get in there but fingers crossed.

Wonder, how long it will be until we hear where we will be. Also, I opted as my second choice for Founders, and selected I would be willing to do the short term share option, in the hope I would get a nice large room, for the sacrifice of a few weeks of sharing. Have I been crazy to do this?
