Royal Holloway Accomodations

I went through clearing and the only available rooms were in the Founders' Hall which is catered. I'm looking through the terms and conditions, I can't access the link for the list of electrical appliances and was wondering if anyone could access it and tell me what's listed. Though they have pantries with electrical appliances like microwaves and kettles, I still can't bring a rice cooker or an air fryer of my own that would be stored in the pantries?

"12.6 Students are responsible for the safety of any electrical appliances that they bring onto Royal Holloway
premises. Students must take reasonable steps to limit the wattage of electrical equipment used in their room
to avoid unnecessary overloading of circuits and tripping the safety breaker.
12.7 Students are permitted to bring certain UK purchased kitchen equipment to be used and
stored in self-catered kitchens only, where the kitchen contains an oven and a hob. These
appliances are not permitted to be stored or used in student bedrooms. For a list of permitted items, please see
the electrical equipment in Halls document. This equipment listed is not permitted in either Founder’s or Reid
catered hall pantries."

Hi there,

We have several students you can chat to on our website who will be able to share their accommodation experience and advice on what you can bring to halls. Feel free to ask them any questions about this and student life here: https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/chat/.

For help with queries relating to halls accommodation, you can email our team here at [email protected].

We hope you find this useful!

Best wishes
