Hey guyssss! Anybody know of a group/chat on facebook for people coming in this year? Or should we make one?

Someone else doing PPE!
What accommodation have you looked at/applied to?

Aw I haven't seen anyone else either! Nice to meet you ;D I've done mine now, put the twin in founders as first choice then singles in gowar/wedderburn after, figured founders would be convenient and it'd for me to make friends. You??

I put anything in founders as my first choice and after that I can't remember, I'm just hoping I get that and not anything else because it's stunning and right in the centre of campus and it looks like Hogwarts:P

Like twins or singles? Yeah the rooms are really nice I think. Plus two of our subjects are there! I'm hoping the food will be nice

Single for my first choice and then twin room after that, I had a look at the food at the open day/applicant day and it seemed pretty decent

Same but the other way around, maybe we will bump into each other haha. Well that's good if I'm going to be living off of it. I haven't been to an open day yet, going to one soon though

Yeah I sort of was at first but then figured someone wouldn't really put it high in their preferences unless they were friendly enough haha, I'll either have someone I get on with decently or a really good friend so figured it was worth the risk, plus it's just a year. Aw yeah well it looks really beautiful, I've always lived in a country area though c:

Aha I've always lived in a city so I'm quite excited for a change but I'll still have London and Reading close by

Hi guys,

I don't know about anyone else but seeing all of these high predicted grades did put me down slightly... I'm not a poor achiever but sometimes when we get stressed everyone begins to doubt what they are capable of.

I really want to attend Royal Holloway and I'm gonna try my hardest to achieve as high as possible... Hope to see some of you guys soon.

( Planning on studying Business and Management)

Hello,

I am interested in applying to Royal Holloway with the intention of studying Bsc Business and Management. However, I am in a unique situation; I have just completed the first year of university in an American university in the Middle East, along with a three-month internship at IKEA, resulting in me having more experience than your standard first year applicant. I have also completed my GCSEs (with ten A* - C grades including Mathematics and English), along with A-Levels in Business Studies, English and Psychology, attaining grades A, B and C respectively. At my current university, my cumulative GPA is 3.5, and I have also received the Dean's List Award due to my high academic achievements. I was wondering, would RH consider me a transfer student or a first year student? Furthermore, what would the process of my application be?

Hey! Anybody knows about the food in the campus? Is it ok for vegan/vegetarians and where do you get your groceries from? Thanks!

Hey!
I've eaten on campus a few times and I can say the food isn't bad. Nothing to shout about but certainly edible hahaha. I'm pretty sure there's always vegetarian options, not too sure about vegan though. You can find the menus on the website if you look hard enough ~
As for buying groceries people normally go to Tesco or Waitrose in Egham or order online from pretty much anywhere (Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys etc.). You could also buy food from the shop on Campus, but tends to be pretty expensive and lacks variety.
There's also a market in the SU once a week where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, and I think oriental food? That's pretty useful

Ahhh thats perfect thank you so much! Are you studying there?
