What are you talking about..?
Royal holloway is in the top 5 unis in the UK for psychology, it is wlel known for being good at this subject. Im currently in my second year for psychology and the course is really good. 80% of people pass with a first or 2.1. I applied for GOldsmiths too and got accepted, but Holloway is a much better uni

Isn't Michael Eynsenck there? I think he's pretty well respected in the area of psychology. He wouldn't be at a poor university...
I would say Holloway. Fantastic for Psychology, international research.

I also believe they also boast one of the highest graduate employment rates.

Goldsmiths' isn't situated in a very nice area. I'm sure some people really appreciate the shabby chic.. mainly Indie kids and those who are really into liberal arts. If you're interested in consciousness studies Max Velmans is a Professor here.

Royal Holloway should have a much better reputation.

Royal Holloway by a million miles. It's a great uni for Psychology and a beautiful campus. Can't emphasise strongly enough that it's far far better. Congrats on getting a place!
Royal Holloway, Royal Holloway, Royal Holloway!! The campus is just stunning, and in my opinion it's very underrated!
