yh a lot of people tell me that there's a high percentage of students from private schools at Royal Holloway, though i doubt that this implies there's a lot of rich kids hanging about (i for 1 when to a private school and i'm deffo not a rich kid, especially judging from where i live!!)

anyway, someone told me that there are dining halls for every catered hall. is this true? (i doubt so....)or do we all gather together in one big hall like that in harry potter:rolleyes: ????

also, im just curious about what are the times for breakfst, lunch etc.... someone posted the link on tsr but i cant find the post (plus im feeling slightly lazy today:rolleyes: )


The Unofficial Student Guide rates it as something like 32% privately schooled, which is higher than everywhere bar Oxbridge.

The Orbital did a survey which showed 74% of people considered themselves from middle-class or above backgrounds...

erm, this is a q. for people who were in reid whenever. in terms of size, what are the rooms like? also, are there drawers for clothes +a wardrobe or is it just one wardrobe?

i may need to buy a stoage box for some things/clothes if thewardrobe's tiny......though i dont have a huge amount of clothes!so just want to know before i hop off to ikea and buy myself some storage boxes and then find out that the room is either too small or too big for them!!!

coolies :smile:

argh i know there's a thread for it, but i can't find it - does our college card or SU card provide us with an NUS card/number or do we need that seperately?
This question has been asked and answered sooooo many times!
College card : college ID, room key, works as a debit card for college shop/dining room purchases blah blah blah.
SU card : NUS card used to get into the Union and bars and discounts in high street shops and stuff.
Your SU card is an NUS card, it has the logo on it :smile:

By the way does anyone know if they change colour every year, or did they have a revamp last year for some reason? I quite like the green!
I think they change colour every year, but I'm not completely sure! I imagine changing the look slightly means it's easier to see if people are trying to get in on an old card...
I see, good point. Well as long as it isn't pink!
I'm hoping for rainbow...freedom would be pleased!
Haha, that would be rather fabulous :biggrin:
lol multicolour would be cool :biggrin:

anyone know who we have performing during our freshers?

ive read that some uni's are having major djs and stuff and someone has carlton banks from fresh prince :frown:

what are 'private schools'? i thought they were called public:s-smilie:
I just read somewhere that a public school doesn't require the student to pay fees but they do have to pass an entrance exam usually (unlike state schools which are free and have no entrance exam, and private schools which have both fees and entrance exams).

However wikipedia says different - apparently a public school in the UK is actually a private school which require the student to pay fees.

God only knows!
