Royal Holloway FAQ

Sweet times. The practicals for Human Phys will be fine; if you put the work in you can easily average around 85%, which will help because the exam is pretty tough. You don't have to understand that much; there's just so much stuff to learn! Put it this way: in the last 4-5 years that I've looked at for past exam papers, a question has never been repeated. It's really interesting, you just need to make sure you don't forget it after the first term!

hey! i'd like to know when do we have proper exams? as in at the end of every term?(ie. December,March and June)? Not sure how it works in the UK. Many thanks!!

Thank you

I'm on the committee for the Music Department next year, so if anyone has any music-related questions, I'll do my best to answer

How easy is it for someone not doing music to get involved in the orchestra and other musical activities?? and how??

2) I got the reading list for Psychology in the post. Do I need to buy all the books mentioned, or can I get some of them from the library...?

Thanks a lot in advance

Buy them (secondhand from Amazon marketplace) as you need them. You probably won't need most of them.

The library is ****. Don't rely on it. Especially during coursework/exam periods.

Thankk you When I visited RHUL, I met Polly Dalton and she told me that the library was excellent and I could probably get all the books I need from the library or digitalised on student intranet.
Reading everywhere that the library is **** is telling me she is living in cloud cuckoo land

Very easy, any RHUL student can audition for the Symphony Orchestra, it's not very well publicised but we will be putting audition info on the facebook group during Freshers week when they put the sign-up details up. New players are always welcome

If you want to play in the pit orchestras for Musical Theatre Society and Savoy Opera Society you just need to keep an eye out on the groups on facebook for details on who is the Musical Director and send them an email.

The facebook group is here btw http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=135495543135033&ref=ts - it won't be at the Fresher's Fayre and neither will the Opera Holloway group because they're not SU-affiliated.
