Royal Holloway and Bredford New College (University of London)

When choosing residence, I found Founder's to be a great choice due to the splendour of the building and the large rooms available there. It is also great residence in which to meet other students and to make friends. The facilities in Holloway, however, are lacklustre, the main problem being inadequate shower facilities. Also, if you do not like to share common facilities (kitchen/washrooms) and if you would like to cook for yourself, Runneymede is a better choice.

Royal Holloway is on a hill overlooking a small village in Surrey. There isn't much to do outside campus, so you have to travel to London, which can be a bit expensive and most of all, inconvenient, because, as has been noted by other people, the last train from London leaves much too early, at around 23.30

Student's union, open on wednesday and friday was really amazing! Other pub and bar inside university were completing the nights. A couple of pubs in Englefieldgreen are interesting.

It was very nice to be able to speak in English all the time, even though most of the time it was with other Erasmus students for whom it's not a native language either.

Very good, I wanted to improve mainly my oral skills and I really had the opportunity to do so. This campus is perfect to meet new people and to chat in English.
