Advice for Prospective Students
If you are considering studying at Royal Holloway then you probably already know what subject you want to read and have visited the websites of a number of universities to compare courses and facilities.
You may have also checked out accommodation in the vicinity of the universities on your short list and even visited the university for a campus tour.
What you can’t possibly know at this stage though, is what the management of the university is really like, what it’s like to live in the vicinity of a university such as Royal Holloway or how the local communities view Royal Holloway and its students. The Royal Holloway management team will probably not tell you this so, to help you out, we’ve written a few notes here in the hope that they will give you a better insight before making your final choice.
There’s lots to digest and think about so please Bookmark this page, come back to it and share with any of your friends that are thinking about studying here too.

There is no doubt that the cost of living is affecting us all but there are some particularly acute issues here.

How Royal Holloway’s Management Affects our Community

Oh, and if you are an animal lover then you should know that Royal Holloway experiments on animals too and is often picketed by Anti-vivisection movements such as Vivisection Exposed.
To conclude though, whatever course and university you choose, we wish you every success in both your studies and future career.
