Sort:Latest reviewsLovely campus, very green considering it's London. Great lecturers, all extremely enthusiastic about the subjects. Accommodation could be better, slightly out dated with extremely poor Wi Fi within the accommodation..
The beautiful campus was amazing to study on, with sights you wouldn't imagine seeing in London on your way to lectures. Coming from London before hand made the whole city setting feel like home to me - however I did struggle but with the lecturers and my friends surrounding me, I felt at ease!
The beauty and location of Roehampton are unbeatable, there are few places in the country where you are within touching distance of London but have the security of a campus university. For teaching training I feel that Roehampton is one of the best in the country, the links with local schools is incredible and the support offered whilst on placement is amazing. The social life is great too!
Fantastic university, beautiful campus with a lively social community and college life! Lectures are interesting, lecturers engaging and dedicated to teaching and inspiring students thoroughly and encouraging them to fulfil their potential.
This university is great. The fact that it's split into 4 colleges is an awesome idea, just because it automatically creates competition. I love that we have flat reps as they make you feel so welcome. This uni is too amazing and going anywhere else would've been a mistake.
The people that you will meet here at Roehampton University are what will make your time here exceptional. Personally, I have without a doubt made some friends for life and learned how to be a better person. Whoever you are, you will be welcome here!
In my opinion Roehampton University is a fantastic place to study and live! It is a diverse and fun place to be, my course is brilliant and the lecturers are really enthusiastic about the subjects they teach, which makes everything more interesting!
Definitely come here! The campus is amazing and scenic. The course is one of the best I have looked at. I really enjoy coming to this uni and the campus makes it so much better and very relaxing and enjoyable.
The Drama programme is brilliant!! There seems to be a lot of practical based work which those of us who could not get into drama school absolutely love! Great performance space, great people and lots and lots of fun!
Roehampton University is a great place to study and meet amazing new people and life-long friends, however, do think long and hard about what you want to study and why. I chose Philosophy - which is amazing - yet I can not for the life of me think how I am going to use this in the working world now - and no, I do not want to teach! SO choose wisely!
Roehampton is literally the most beautiful place which makes the whole university experience even better. I love the combination of the learning world and the social world and if I were to give a potential student some advice, it would be to try and find the perfect balance between these two worlds!
With the Bop every Friday and Clapham Grand every first Monday of the month and the occasional Fez, There is always something to look forward to at Roey. With the perfect location next to Central London on a gorgeous campus, you are never bored. Roehampton opens up so many opportunities for it is students. Attend any open days and see for yourself!
I am an American student studying here for a part of my college education. This is a great university! SO much better than those back home in the states! it is a lovely campus with good professors! I am having a great experience here!
I adore Roehampton and chose it over other universities I was accepted for - even prestigious ones! it is a beautiful campus - surprisingly green for a university near to central London! The social life is SOOO good as the uni puts a lot into coming up with fun events for us so we all make as many friends and memories as possible! Long live Roehampton!
Like a typical stereotype of a student, I am rather drunk as I write this! Or maybe it is the combination of sun, great company and alcohol... it is a great uni, not so sure of my job prospects when I graduate but that is due to the course I have chosen!
In my opinion, I think that Roehampton Uni is absolutely blooming amazing!!!! I am not sure exactly which way my career will head right now but I am just loving it. My advice is: Just have fun while you are here and enjoy yourself!
Good university in a good location, easy to get to Central London and all the excitement there! Student Union has lots going on. My course is good and the lecturers are interesting people with useful first hand experience in the industry.
The lectures are helpful but some courses are very challenging - particularly for me! It is in a great location and is so close to everything with Putney near by. It can be hard to find the particular books I need in the library sometimes but other than that, it is excellent! it is really everything I wanted and more.
I love the amount of greenery around this campus - you really are in the middle of a beautiful park with some amazing old buildings! I am really enjoying my lectures and on sunny days like today, I LOVE the PImms!!
4.3
In terms of arriving at the university, I was welcomed with open arms and that kindness has continued until now, meaning I want the next 2 and a half years to last forever. The accommodation on Froebel is homely and spacious and the Union Bar is a place to both meet new people and to have a nice chill-out after lectures. The campus is beautiful, especially Froebel College - it feels like an exotic woodland at times where you see badgers, foxes, squirrels and so many ranges of birds on Froebel lake, with the buildings reminding you that you are still part of London. Its incredibly easy to get to central London, with a 10/20 minute walk to Barnes, £2/3 trip to Waterloo, and not long later you're standing under the London Eye. I cannot express enough how liberating it is to live in London - I have travelled more around the country than I ever did when living back home (in Kent), and even though my loan helps to cover the cost at times, be it a £6 ticket up to Birmingham or a £18 ticket to Glasgow, travelling straight from London rather than travelling into London and then somewhere else, it gives you so much freedom. The course I'm taking is great - being single honours Sociology - despite only two terms being full of lectures and a third term being empty. I'd advise if you live on campus in your third term and have no lectures, to get a job in London, from how easy and cheap the travel is in comparison to living outside of London. But either way, I've been told that summer on campus here at Roehampton feels like a continuous festival of music and relaxing on the lawn, which I cannot wait for! As an overall rating therefore, Roehampton is amazing for getting you settled into adult life, and is much friendlier than some other universities I've seen friends go to. It isn't a Russell Group, but its in its own league of excellence from everyday feeling like a good day!
