Heythrop College, University of London

,Excellently situated in the heart of London, we are lucky to benefit from the best Philosophy academic staff, most of whom frequently work between Oxbridge colleges and Heythrop. The social life here is rather good, as we all study Philosophy, so have similar interests. The specialism in Philosophy means that we have the best staff and facilities for our subject.

Heythrop is a specialist school in philosophy, which has given me a great breadth and depth of knowledge. The philosophy and theology libraries are some of the largest in the country and are located close to Alban Halls of Residence, which has been wonderful. I thought the college might be cramped and too small, seeing as it's in Kensington Square, but it has its own series of gardens and on-site halls. The college feels like a village and it's the best place for a Philosophy degree.

Although it is advertised as fully catered, the allowance we get means we can only afford lunch and dinner from the canteen - although the food is generally of high quality. Accommodation is generally great, but I have Heard of problems with things like leaking showers. Campus Service usually sort these things out very quickly though.

Accommodation in halls has a good community environment , as there are only around 100 residents that you will likely get to know. However, they are very basic and need updating from their 1970s style. They feature basic modern necessities but the design is extremely spartan and access to the internet is not always as good as it should be.
