Royal Holloway (RHUL) 2024 Offer Holders

I received an unconditional offer for Philosophy and History of Art and Visual Culture!

Heyy, just received an offer for BA Philosophy!!

Hey, same here, penny for your thoughts on the course.

Omg finally, I haven’t seen anyone else who’s also doing philosophy at any of the unis I applied for until now😭. Tbh, I actually quite like the modules on the course, im particularly interested in aesthetics and morals. Wbu? And what other unis have you applied to?

😂 yeah its very void of philosophy students. Im debating whether to go to Reading or RHUL, Holloway is closer to me and ima commute. Morals is cool, im interested in morals, mind and meaning, self and everything else really 🤣. Reading has some modules more in my interest but Holloway is so much closer i would end up with 1.33 times the money from the loan. Idk 😩. Where have you applied and why do you like aesthetics?

Ohh okayy, I think morals is cool too! You must live far then if royal Holloway is close to you, it’s 2 hours away from me and I want to commute💀. I heard reading is cool. Tbh, if you like the modules more at reading and think you’ll enjoy it more then I say you go there, it’s better to go somewhere further where you’ll actually enjoy it more (which will result in better grades), then to go somewhere closer which you won’t enjoy as much just because it’s ’convenient’. But wherever you choose to go, I know it will be the right decision for you! I also applied to go to soas, northeastern and kings though I’m still waiting to hear back from kings and they do have modules I’m more interested such as philosophy of physics and metaphysics😩. And tbh, i don’t know much about aesthetics but I feel like it’s just something I would be interested in. (Sorry for this fat paragraph I just wrote😭)

Wow you would be willing to commute 4 hours a day? You'd have to leave your house at around 6.45 to get to the 9am lectures 😭. No spare time left over whatsoever 🧐. May be worth re-evaluating. Yeah its because if i go to Royal ill have around £90 a week left over after food and bills, whereas if I go to Reading I would have around £60, big difference in quality of life imo. But you are right, thats why im still considering Reading. Im gonna be 23 when course starts so I did my a levels 5 years ago almost 😭. Have you been informed about Offer Holder days btw? Also how are your a levels going?

Oh absolutely not, if I end up going royal then I’ll deffo get an accom. Travelling 4 hours a day is crazy😭. Ohh okay, I mean have you tried looking at bursaries and scholarships? They could potentially increase the £60. Ohh okay, you’re lucky though, I wish I did my A-levels back in 2019 so that I could have lower grade boundaries😔. I was supposed to take my A-level exams last year but then I took a gap year and I’m thankful for that cause I heard the exam boards screwed a lot of people over last year 😬. And yesss, I’ve signed up for royals open day on the 23rd (I think that’s the date?), will you be going? Oh wow, 4-levels, you must be smart😩, I do psychology, religious studies-philosophy and ethics, and I do history (choosing history is the worst mistake I’ve ever made in my life but I’ll pull through 😔).

Hello once more, yeah I was thinking that might be better 😂. I am not eligible for any bursaries or scholarships as far as I have found. Yeah, i still didnt do too well in my a levels 😑, nah 3 A levels, one AS level instead of EPQ. Exam boards always screw people 🫤. Had no idea you can take a gap year between year 12 and 13, is that what you did? Yep, History was one of my worst GCSEs. Royal havent sent me any details yet unfortunately so I was in the dark, Im busy on 23rd of March, is there any other days? Also I wouldnt mind chatting on messenger instead.

Heyy! Okayy, I’ll message you privately instead

Hey, not letting me respond to the dm but thank you for the encouragement 😄. Not upset about my results but they are objectively low. That makes more sense about the gap year. I hope your A Level exams go smoothly and you get your desired uni place.

Oh, that’s weird that’s it not letting you respond. But anyways, thanks for the encouragement for my A-levels, let’s hope history doesn’t finish me 😔. I also wish you the best in making your decision whether to go to royal or reading!! <3

Hey, I'll be there on the 23rd, as it turns out. If you go, look out for a tall skinhead with brown hair and
eyes 😂
