Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
More independent way of living, more space. Living with other students would have been great! Living within a family needs a lot of adjustment.

Personal comments
Housing on campus was not offered to visiting students staying for less than one full year. Therefore I had to find accomodation on my own which was not that easy. The Accomodation Office of the University had sent a list of possible landladies/-lords. Some of them were not willing to house international students, others would only rent out a room for a period of at least one year.

Royal Holloway is close to London. There is a train station in Egham (15-20 minute walk from Campus). London offers everything you can think of. Good places closer by are Staines as well as Windsor with lots of pubs, clubs, restaurants. Staines has a cinema complex and plenty of stores as well as an indoor pool. There was a good café on campus which was cheap and had excellent coffee, sandwiches etc. there is a gym on campus which is alright and offers nice classes.

Yes: I did not have a choice of university. If I did, I would have opted for something not so far from London.

It's good to try and make friends in London, and also travel to Scotland - it's a must! If you do not come from Europe, you should try and go on trips to other European countries, it's not far at all to the mainland!

I wish I had known...
A car would have been helpful, you need to walk a lot!!! I lived 15 minutes from campus which was alright. It was a 20 minute walk to the train station and a 25 minute walk to the supermarket. it wasn't fun carrying all the bags home. Besides, I was kind of stuck in the evenings. Trains are not necessarily very reliable. I had a car at home, I could have taken it...Unfortunately I did not know. Be prepared to spend a lot of money!

They have a good website with lots of pictures. We travelled to Brighton and Oxford which was fun!
Going again I would try to live in Staines think because there is everything there. Close to London - great on weekends, we went there a lot. Direkt train connection to Waterloo takes 35 minutes!

The social life is performed in the campus (whcih is very big); it is not easy to spend time in London since it is 1 hour from the campus (a walk and 45 minutes of train..)
