Psych: Bath or Royal Holloway

I need to make my decision about the firm and insurance choice and I am torn between choosing Bath or Royal Holloway. Are there any students that took the psychology courses at these two? Could you describe your experience?
I have seen some people describe Egham as a boring city but that’s not really what I’m interested in. I would like to know more about the campus life, how the teachers are, the atmosphere, how close the community is, things like that.
Thank you!!
