Hi! So I would definitely pick royal Holloway out of the two. With regards to the social life, because it is in a quieter area, it’s not going to the the most lively of uni’s. I think RH is best suited to quieter, introverted uni and I personally think the social life is most likely to be best in city based uni’s. However! There is still plenty to do at RH and if you did want to go out, London is like 30/40 minuets by train. They have a ball, (similar to a prom,) at the end of summer.
