That's kind of like me I'm predicted ABB and I need AAB I'm hoping that this thread and the idea of RH will be enough motivation to get it :P

Hey! I really want to go look around RH properly, I drove past it once and just fell in love with the founders building. I'm thinking of doing psychology, they've just put up the entry requirements to AAA and my tutors at college still haven't given me my predicted grades yet :mad:

but fingers crossed they're good, as well as my AS level exam results. It's definitely one of my 5 choices, but I need to decide on others ahh, it's scary choosing, I don't like this :confused:

Imjustrach - I see you're a nerdfighter :smile:

I haven't had the chance to get down there to look yet, but Founders looks AMAZING! Although you have to move in and out termly which is a bit of put off for me, especially living so far away from home.

And why yes, yes I am :biggrin:

Just went to the open day.

Founders building is horrid but the rest of the campus is pretty nice, would definitely consider it. If I apply it'd be for IR, the Students Union is also fantastic.

Brilliant - I'm a bit of a sucker for a good SU, being a President has made me respect HE SUs so much :P

I couldn't live in founders because of the shared bathroom, but I don't think unless you're living there you don't really spend a lot of tim in there, I've read only a few lectures take place in there. I think I'm going to the first October open day so I really hope I like it, it's definitely one of my top choices! Everyone saying there's not much of a student nightlife (which is understandable because it's in a village), but it's not the biggest priority really. I've heard the SU is really good too!

They have a whole SU building which is turned into a nightclub on Wednesday's and Friday's and do all kinds of themed nights.

The SU presentation was amazing, my favourite was the human vs zombies society :biggrin:

I've heard there's a Harry potter society:L sounds like a lot of fun though! I can't wait to visit - the themed nights sound fun, apparently campus is dead on weekends

I've heard that campus is dead on weekends too, but that wouldn't really bother me (being 40 mins away from London would consume my free time anyway :biggrin:

).

Yeah Ill be living a far distance away from home and I want to be near London so this was quite ideal cause its not too busy and seems quite picturesque. Only prob,elm is that the last train is quite early in the morning apparently so I think you have to do a group event on a minibus or coach to get back for nights out- but ill probably spend weekends in London. Don't think you can get an oyster card either :frown:

I'm looking at doing History at RH, but haven't had an opportunity to go to an open day (I live in Liverpool so it's miles away!!)
But it looks absolutely amazing, particularly founders! My only worry is that, from what I've read, the facilities there aren't particularly good :/
