Ranking Royal Holloway's Accommodations | "IT'S AN ELDERLY HOME!" 

I'm glad I could help ❤️ I hope you get the ones you want!!!

I got you!!!!

I should’ve asked for my money back tbh😂So true!

@@VenusAshu I'm going to have a nervous breakdown! I've been put into Penrose. Is there any way I can change it??

@@benjaminhall7711 hey don’t worry! Someone message me about the exact same problem. My biggest advice is to either hassle student services so they change you or find someone to swap with you. If those are dead ends you can either pray that penrose makes and not breaks you or try to find private accom in Egham like hoxpark or the garage

Dw I've been there! Accomodation is always due just after student loan drops and it's paid in threes at the beginning of every term ! I'm glad it helps!!!

@@VenusAshu yes that does help thank uu🙌 I have another question btw it’s a bit unrelated but I’m terms of societies and clubs which are the best, I’m thinking of signing up to MMA or boxing or maybe some boujè ones like fencing because why not do u know any info about these 😂

@@SM-iv6qv I'm so sorry I haven't a clue about them BUT there are IG and FB accounts/groups where you can ask them anything you need to

@@VenusAshu kl kl, also side note I lovee ur videos, and I wish u growth and prosperity💫 subbed to u with the bell on keep up the good work 💯

@@SM-iv6qv Aww this is so sweet, thank you so much!!!!✨

Yes! It’ll be really exciting for the next students

Honestly enjoy it! I just graduated and I’m ngl I’m missing it like crazy 😂

Founders is still a great option! I was there for the first year and had the time of my life.i deffo have advice for international students, I could potentially do a lil video for you but most of all I would say: - Research transport before hand and look at applying for a railcard. I've been abroad and using trains, buses and subways can seem very daunting in a new country. There's alot of info online, you can always ask friends, but make sure you look into yourself. - If you ever feel homesick make sure you find out about things nearby that remind you of home. For example, a friend of mine form Korea went to a traditional Korean market in London and the vibes we're just like home and she loved it. - also make sure you find out if you're eligible to work here. Trust me uni gets spendy so having a part time or zero hour contract doesn't hurt - Brush up on you British slang. We use a lot of it😂

Yep, as Venus says you're still able to have a really great time at Founders. You're living in Hogwarts! But as pointed out, you have to remember it's a grade I listed building, which means legally it's not allowed to have any major work done in redeveloping it, so you've got to come at it with the mindset it's an old building with old building problems!

You moving in next week? I'm so excited to start :)) what you studying?

No it’s not horrible😂 it’s actually quite decent and the rooms are similar to tuke and gowar. It just gets a lot of crap because the kitchens are really small and sometimes there can be rats near the bins outside because the forest is behind the accom

@@VenusAshu okay thank you i feel a little better 🤣

;)

Oh babes I didn’t get to change. You can hassle student services but the only way to change is if you find someone who’s in the same year and the same gender as you wanting to swap. But George Eliot is pretty popular so you should be able to find someone who would want to

@@VenusAshu 💔💔💔 this uni really wants war man

@@VenusAshu say if i found someone who wanted to swap, how would I go about it😭and does it have to be the same gender

Yes😂 but only within each flats

I actually can’t say too much about it as it’s only just begun accepting tenants! But it seems nice from the outside. I have no clue about the prices tho!

Glad I could help! Ooo I recommend 40 weeks if you can only because it is a bit of a hassle to move in and out over the breaks BUT if you don't have too much stuff and decor AND you think you'll be at home for the 4 weeks then itll be a good option for you

@@VenusAshu Thank you!

George Eliot is a mixed hall so you’ll be sharing the house block with 7 or 5 other people (depending on size of block) HOWEVER with GE they usually put the same genders together as neighbours so you should be sharing the bathroom with one other person of the same gender to you.

Yes I would say so! There haven’t been many issues in terms of safety when I was at the uni

Move out! When your contract is over the uni will let you know by what date you have to move all your stuff out

@@VenusAshu do you move into the town with friends after or do you have to use uni accommodation the entire time ?

@@leviackerman5870 it depends on what you decide to do. After first year some people decide to move in with friends near the uni and others stay in student accom. I decided to stay in student accom but one thing to note is that there may not always have space for 2nd years if there’s too many people. First years always have priority and sometimes so do 3rd years because it’s their final year.

@@leviackerman5870 but I will always recommend doing 2 years on campus and living out for at least one year just so that you gain experience for what it’s like because you learn a lot whilst letting out as a student
