Just been offered an unconditional place at Roehampton Uni - what’s it like there?

Same! got an unconditional offer for business management.

Personally I'd avoid Roehampton, too many friends studying there have been the victim of brutal muggings.
The campus is beautiful but the local area has a terrible problem with violent criminals, illegal drugs and antisocial behaviour.
Roehampton Uni lecturers need to start being honest about how dangerous the area is.

I don't want to alarm you but the violent crime is absolutely terrible.
15 friends experienced extreme violence in Roehampton; either mugged, attacked by a criminal with an illegal weapon or beaten up trying to rescue someone else mugged/attacked.

dont go there

Really? Surely this is an exaggeration. You know 15 people studying at one uni and they’ve all been mugged and attacked? I’ll take this into consideration but not gonna be put off entirely on this basis, thanks

Nice one! Do you think it’ll be one of your final choices?

This comment is actually familiar to me, I saw the exact same one from on other discussion on roehampton. I feel you just copy past it. May be what you say is right but I feel you just aim to shock potentiel applicants make them avoid this university through exagerations. It's true that it's not best area in London but absolutely not the worst. I am sure that if you arrive 30min before the lesson and go back home before 5pm (if you are living with your parents) I am sure you reduce massively the changes of getting into trouble.

Bro theyre exaggerating. Its a nice uni and most the time tou spent on the campus anyway. Good luck to you

I thought so, thank you, good luck to you too!

Theyre not wrong tho. Some areas near the uni (Like the estate nearby) can be rough, but there is no reason anyway to go into the estate because all classes and shops are away from it. Good luck with whichever you choose, but id deffo recommend roey for uni life
