Roehampton, Psychology 2014

How challenging is psychology at Roehampton, and what does the timetable look like?

How do you apply for acomodation pls

Hi! Timetable for first years is (at the moment) Tuesday- Friday, with 10 hours a week + 1hr for tutorial every other week for single honours. If you do counselling as well, I think it's 9-5/6 on a Monday as well with an hour for lunch (I don't do counselling though so I don't know for sure!)
In regards to difficulty- it's definitely manageable. There is a lot of reading to do, as with any uni, although there is tons of support available if you're stuck, lecturers/learning advisors are around if you need any help. Hope that helped a little bit! Feel free to ask anymore questions if you have any, I'm a 1st year psychology student there :-) x

Do you live on Whitelands, how long does it take to walk to lectures? I'm studying there next year and I have not quite decided yet where I would like to stay haha. Thank you for your replies x

I do! It takes no time at all 30 seconds-1 minute!
It depends what atmosphere is more important to you. Everything is on main campus, so it's probably a lot more fun to stay up there compared to here (although Whitelands is awesome:b). I didn't really mind not having lots on campus because I'd much rather not have to walk far to lectures- rather than do a 10 minute walk in the rain/snow etc. And plus that means more sleep for me as all my lectures start at 9 ������ But it just really depends on what kinda atmosphere you're after :-) x

yeh, Whitelands is more tempting as its closest to where my lectures are. I just hope I dont regret it once I move hahah Do you like your room and the kitchen area? My biggest concern is to who I end up sharing the space with tbh

I'm studying Psychology and Counselling starting this September (2014) an applied to live in Whitelands and it's slightly seperste from the main campus and is where all of the psychology type courses are held.. but still a reasonable size. Hope this helps

There is always that. I don't think it's that easy to move rooms as well once you're here (unless it's in the first few weeks) so you definitely want to be sure.

I like my room- it's bigger than I expected (I mean, it's still small, but definitely liveable!). There's lots of storage space for books and stuff like that. Also, the wardrobes go backwards (as in they are deep wardrobes, unlike normal width ones) , so getting all your clothes in there might be a struggle- but there's tons of storage space where you can fold them up and you could also store stuff under your bed in those plastic boxes if you need more.

The kitchen area is okay- I've heard that there are nicer ones somewhere on the main campus, but getting an ensuite was more important to me anyway. You get one fridge shelf, one freezer drawer and 2 cupboards each (one lockable).

I think that is definitely something to consider. My flat mates are lovely, but some of my cutlery and food does go walk about occasionally, although you're going to have that concern wherever you go. The only thing I can suggest is to get a key for your cupboard and lock up your most important stuff. Regarding food, I haven't figured that one out yet. Although, in your first year you have flat reps that live with you, and if you have any problems you can just ask to have a flat meeting and they will bring any issues up discreetly, meaning no one falls out about it.

Try not to worry about flat mates too much, chances are the majority (if not all of them) will be lovely. And if they aren't, you can make plenty of friends from the flats above/beneath/next door to you and use their kitchen :-) You do get to know most of the people in the flats around you anyway, so you're bound to find a lovely bunch.

This does put my nevers at ease, thank you! A couple more things, do people use their laptops during lectures to take notes etc? Also, do you use your student registration card to "check in" for lectures so they know how many you attend? Kind of random, but I heard my friend has to use it at her uni
