I recently received an offer to study Law at Royal Holloway and it is my first choice. However after more research I found out that it's Royal Holloways first year offering Law. would it be smart to be in the first group of students to study Law a Royal Holloway? Since they haven't established a real ranking yet, would it be too much of a risk? Would it be smarter just to go to City University? Also I applied for an international undergrad scholarship! Do I have a better chance of getting the scholarship since it was specific to Law and there might not be many people applying? Or not?

Thank you

Hi! If you'd like me to be honest, it would be a risk. City Law School knows what it's doing, since I think it's one of the oldest law schools in the country. London would also be a great place to be: RH is very isolated and though the campus is pretty, there's not much to do.

I received two unconditional offers from RHUL. Obviously, I totally happy right now :smile:

I was also wondering, if it would be smarter to choose Comparative Literature over Liberal Arts since it is their first year of offering this course.
Does anyone has an advice?

Thanks :smile:

Hi,
I have already chosen Royal Holloway as my firm choice, with Queen Mary as my insurance. I originally really wanted to go to Uni in London for all the events and social opportunities there. However when I visited Royal Holloway I felt I preferred it much more, that I fitted in and actually liked being away from the center of the city. But now after reading stuff on here I am really starting to doubt my choice. Does anyone know if there is any proper social life at all at Royal Holloway? Do students actually go into London to go out etc.? If anyone could help/ ease my worries it would be much appreciated thank you :s-smilie:

Staines is 4 minutes away on the train, and the same train has you in the West End in half an hour. I am also a prospective student, but from what I have heard there is a good deal of nightlife in Staines and Windsor, and the SU bar is pretty good. Having lived a couple of miles from QMUL for over 10 years, I can honestly say that having the option to get away from the city is more than worth the inconvenience of the short train journey required to get back to it!

Firmed RHUL for English (Q300) and am so sure I want to go there, I didn't even put an insurance choice down...........let's hope I get in lol.

Hoping to get into Williamson/Tuke/Butler accommodation (or the other ones the exact same but with different names?). A bit disappointed that accommodation application is no longer first-come-first-serve, since I'm a bit more worried I won't get my first choice now haha
