What's it like? i hear it's good for english and drama, but isn't very well known and the areas really quiet and there's hardly anything to do? is it true?

also does anyone know if it's worth applying to ucl when i only got abbb at AS? i think the entry requirements something like two As and a B and i'm only predicted abbb

the actual campus is beautiful, and egham isnt that bad, just nothing to do (i used to go to college there). you can also go out in staines.... thats if you want to risk getting mugged by a bunch of pikeys (i live there). windsor is pretty cool, and so is kingston, and central londons only 30 mins on the train (but for a stupid reason the last train is about midnight, so no such luck for a late night!!!)

The wolf what do u mean my getting mugged by pikeys at staines?

Yea - the campus is amazing! This must be the UK's best architecturally looking campus.

my friend told me it's hella far away from the city. is that true?

Yes.

Actually no. And I can confirm that because I'm a Royal Holloway student and have been regularly going to London since I've got here. In fact I plan to go down there tonight (to go home and finish my evening!).

ok but what about goin to get some necessities from the supermarket? do i need to go to london in order to get them then?

It's currently ranked 15th, one place ahead of Kings and two ahead of Manchester, although University league tables probably aren't a very accurate measurement. Contrary to popular belief it's not quiet and dull. Think of it this way - it's a place full of students! Egham itself is actually rather painfully dull and very small hence most people make a (quick-ish) trek to Staines/Windsor or even better London (which takes less than 40 mins to get to) to shop.

Did I ever mention how beautiful the Royal Holloway campus is, and what an amazing community there is?!

Shall we step up the campaign to get a Royal Holloway subforum? We really do deserve it! I'm pleased to note that the UEL subforum is no more...

I PMed M, and am still awaiting a reply. I highly doubt one will be made, but there's no harm in hoping...

Well, hopefully he'll see sense...
