UCL

But on the guardian website royal holloway is 2nd in the UK for physics. :s-smilie:

And I've heard that people only think UCL is good cause of it's name

UCL > Kings > RHUL

Both Kings and RHUL will give you excellent degrees and both are very good for physics. But UCL is slightly ahead of them both in terms of reputation, employment prospects and teaching. Especially since UCL has a slight science bias... Also, i wouldn't worry too much about individual league tables
V. nice position to be in though...

To be honest, league table based on individual subjects are often inaccurate. Out of those, UCL has the best reputation and will look best to employers and such.

KCL and UCL are the same social life wise as it's London. RHUL is a campus so it's going to be quite different. Accommodation - going to pretty much the same standard wise for all 3 but KCL and UCL will be sig more expensive. As reputation for teaching goes UCL > KCL > RHUL.

I've heard RHUL can be a bit dead at weekends as loads of londoners go home.

thank you for answering. so, it looks like everyone agrees that UCL is the best for teaching. and i pretty much can imagine how life goes on in london. but what it's like to live in a campus? there are no campuses in italy, therefore my personal experience related to that sort of life is 0. (BTW, every time i see a picture of RHUL my first thought is "hogwarts")
