Royal Holloway, London or Glasgow??? :SThere are so many differences I'm finding it too hard to pick.
Obviously they're at different ends of the country;
Glasgow's a hugggge central campus, whereas RH is small and 20 miles from London so I don't know if travel's an issue, but then it could be easier to make friends?;
Glasgow's known for it's night life, but I'm quite shy, find it hard making friends etc and not sure if I'd fit into that;
London's expensive, but I'm going to get into debt wherever I go;
The thing that I hate about Glasgow is the course - I'm app for Eng Lit and I looked down the reading list for last year and I've already read half the books for A level and I'd have to do Eng Lang for a year which I hate, but I love the look of the course at RH.
So yeah - it's all to do with location - which is the best?
Phew that was a bit long winded :* -

Re: Royal Holloway, London or Glasgow??? :SGo to whichever one you like. But Glasgow is the superior university.(Original post by fallen__roses)
But why should I go to Glasgow? :P
And yeah I am really worried about the course -but what if I hate RH?! I'm so bad at making decisions...:/ -

Re: Royal Holloway, London or Glasgow??? :SFrom what you've said it sounds like you have almost made the decision yourself, and that's the most important thing, that it is your decision.
The course is the most important aspect of your choice definately and that's one reason to choose Royal Holloway, if you are unhappy with the course you will have a miserable three years and possibly wasted if you don't do as well because of a lack of motivation. Granted i am slightly biased because it's my choice but still! Also it is stunningly beautiful, and the teachers seemed lovely. I can't go out much so the quiet scene was better for me, but if you go we should go out for a drink!! There's a social life everywhere especially with this forum going on!
See you in September

Re: Royal Holloway, London or Glasgow??? :SYup
Tuke n Butler and W n G are my first choices, do you have any preferences? you need to get a move on actually if you wanna have any choice really it opened a few days ago 
I know it's scary but maybe it's time to take the plunge, i was lucky i didn't have any choices that appealed to me as much as RH so my choice was easy but normally i panic too!!
Pressure! Lol. Yeah Glasgow is gorgeous! But then RH has the lovely Founders building :x
