Overall I'd say my experience at roehampton has been positive so far, the course I've chosen (religious studies) has been really interesting and the lecturers have been so friendly and interesting to listen to. On the other hand the university itself is very quiet, which could be good or bad depending on your preferences, but this means it's tricky to make friends outside of your accommodation.

Psychology is an excellent course. All the lecturers know exactly what they're talking about and make the lectures interactive and engaging. The main campus is absolutely stunning; there's so much beautiful scenery to see. Definitely recommend it!

Roehampton is overall a great experience for all students. Not only is the staff and there to help you with your course, but they are also there to guide you through life after uni and are there to support you if you are struggling with your mental health as well. The newly-designed library, opened in 2017, accommodates all learning and studying types, with 4 floors of vast study space and resources. Learning aside, the RSU are very active and involved in student life by hosting tons of super fun nights out and on campus. The opportunities are limitless when it comes to sports and societies. What I really appreciate about Roehampton is that even though it does have around 10,000 students, it never feels overwhelmingly massive as a university. It's a great atmosphere to learn in, with Central London only a bus or tube ride away.

This university has a beautiful campus and with every year that passes by the university is flooded with friendly and social students. Speaking of social, the Roehampton students union is unmatched when it comes to creating nights out for Roehampton students.

The university has given the opportunity to expiernce independent life whilst exploring the London culture. With friendly and helpful staff, newly built library and the real sense of community I can honestly say that studying at Roehampton has been the best choice for me.

I'm studying I the Whitelands campus so it doesn't have as good facilities as the main campus, we do lack a library but the main campus is a 15/20 minuets walk away. The food isn't as good as in the main campus and can be quite pricey, and do not offer a lot of healthy vegan & veggie options, overall the university is quite good and a little bit casual which I like.

The campus is all together which is nice when living all campus as all facilities are easily accessible. They have a giant, modern library full of many books. I study sociology and am in second year therefore so far it has taught me a variety of things and the lecturers continue to make it fun and enjoyable to attend. We have many societies which I think is good for everyone as not everyone are drinkers so don't get the full opportunity to meet people on nights out therefore societies gives those people who don't drink opportunity to make friends and have fun whilst at university.

Beautiful campus with all the facilities in close proximity including several cafes and diners. On our course we have had sufficient help in doing the best we can for our degree, our lecturers are always there to offer advice to us when needed. We also have received a lot of help from careers in our work placement module including guest speakers from people in our industry. Overall Roehampton has been a great university!

I studied a PGCE course at this university and was really pleased with the facilities that was available to me. The course convener was really helpful and my course tutor was extremely supportive throughout. When organising placements, they made sure that they were within a close proximity to me.

Getting around campus is very convenient, all colleges within the university are close to each other which is perfect. Facilities are ok in general. I feel like some lecture halls could be updated as they look quite old. I go the lectures in queens building and I really don’t like how there are chairs scattered everywhere.. there should be fitted seats with tables to write on so students feel more comfortable. Also it’s very difficult for some students to hear if they sit at the back so I suggest louder speakers/microphone to be used during the lecture. Also the lectures voices in digby chapel aren’t very clear since it’s a very huge hall making to difficult to hear what lectures are saying. Overall the campus is very well looked after and maintained well.

Really good social life, good location and very friendly students on the whole. Brand new library and accommodation has just been finished this year too, so the facilities are also amazing.

The uni is great. There is a lot of support for everyone which helps in the diverse area of London that it is located. Fun events are organised weekly involving all students from all 4 colleges

As a first year student and now moving into my second, university in a nutshell was amazing because of the students themselves and the academic support. But the student union within the university is horrendous, slow responses with lack luster events that are forcing students away from university events and innovation to start up societies. Which is why roehampton has a scarce number of societies with exclusions of sports such as cricket. The facilities were top notch with 24 hours security but access to these facilities were unavailable in desperate times of needs such as exam periods.

My uni is okay. It’s not great but it’s not awful. Similar to Captain America. Why is he even here anyway? His only use is to be shocked by existing in this century and to look nice. Which he doesn’t. So I’m confused about that. Anyway, roehampton is similar. No one knows why it’s here, but my course has a 94% offer rate to all applicants so I know why I’m here. And hey, a degree is a degree.

University of Roehampton is a great, diverse university as it caters for everyone's needs. The staff that teach are all very helpful in their own ways and the facilities are very accommodating. The library is exceptionally made and it has a vast amount of space for every kind of thing you would need to do. My only one downside to the university is that the food prices are ridiculously overpriced and seeing as how we are students i think this is completely unfair on us.

Our university may not be the best bit there's just something about it that makes it special. The curriculum is damn good and the old buildings mixed with the new make it that much better to live in. As much as I say I hate it, I love the fact that my campuses are a short walk away from eachother. Feel like I'm getting my exercise and enjoying some great views on the way. I love it's location although I thought there'd be at least one 24h off license in our vicinity, and I love that most of the things I need are a small walk away if I don't want to go to kingston or putney. Speaking of- two major places not half an hour each way and one bus to take it? Quality. Our union is pretty standard and the weekly parties were always a riot. The only thing I'd complain about is the view of the co-op from my room and the inefficiency of our security.

The undergraduate Criminology course was amazing but the masters courses are awful very unorganised and we are all complaining -Global Criminology and Human Rights and International Relations courses. The student union is great so many events and opportunities to volunteer etc. The library is absolutely amazing. The night life is good in that we have 3 different club nights -Grand,Fez and Bop. The careers services is pointless never been any help to me. Its just there for show in my opinion.

There's a very warm and supportive environment. Location wise, it's green, lush, idyllic yet still in London. There a good facilities on campus and it's very well connected.

The campus and facilities are beautiful, and the teaching is to a high standard, however, could benefit from more contact hours per week.
