On the whole it's good. Most departments are very respectful, except the politics and music departments which are very well respected, and management which is not.

Management is not??? I thought Management was suppose to have a good rep. there. Lots of people I know seem to apply to do Management at RHUL. This seems to be the case with Economics too. They all seem to say they want to go to RHUL because they have a good Econ. and Business department???

I loved it when I went, more so than any other uni, the campus is so amazing, if it was in central London, it would've been heaven but hey you can't get everything, sad I can't go to it this year though

Management does have a lot of places (approximately half the year do it), but that doesn't mean it is any good! Lots of people seem to take management here if they want to 'get the uni experience' without taking a degree that is too challenging. Economics doesn't have a bad reputation, but this isn't the best place in the country for it, perfectly fine though!

Geography, English, Music, History, Politics and Psychology are the strongest departments. I would recommend them academically, but wouldn't recommend any others.

It is generally very good. The teaching standards and research are quite a high standard. I think it will only improve over the next few years what with the imminent merger with St. George's. I guess it depends on what subject you do too. For example, The Guardian have just ranked it as the 4th best place for psychology. The Times rate it as 6th for French and it also does very well in Classics.
