- Political scene
  
  I personally am not aware of any political groups here at the RVC, so there is definitely room for improvement here.

  Nightlife
  
  RVC is in London, there are so many clubs that you probably will never be able to visit them all. Being situated in Camden means some great clubs are right on your door step, we are really close to Koko, Proud, the electric ballroom and many other Camden clubs. But don't let Camden be the only place you visit, London is you playground, its party central!

  The upside
  
  There is a good community ethos in the college- becuase everyone is studying very similar courses everyone can relate to the stresses and enjoyments of the course. There is also alot of opportunity to follow specific interests with student run sociteies for pretty much every aspect of the veterinary industry- Business, Hollistic treatment, Farm, Equine, Emergency and critical care... the list goes on.

  Accommodation
  
  Mary Brancker House is the best pre-clinical accommodation; you have more space and are not stuck on campus like with College Grove, which is second best. College Grove allows lie ins and easy access to uni in revision periods, and the fees are better than Mary B; Unite run Mary B. They are horiffic. I wouldn't use intercollegiate halls or any others due to cost, limited mealtimes, shared facilities and noise issues.

- Careers
  
  Did not have as big a range of clubs/societies as I would have hoped, mostly just sport or vet related.

League table rankings

Here's where this university ranks in the three main league tables (where available), which are calculated using a combination of stats that they each weight in different ways. They’re a handy guide but don’t offer the full picture – just because a university is top (or bottom) of the league tables doesn’t mean it is (or isn’t) the right choice for you.

More on what university league tables really tell you.

This institution doesn’t feature in any of the three main league tables, most likely because it’s small or specialist and there isn’t enough data to create a ranking. In a small number of cases some universities have opted out appearing in certain league tables.

Where it's located

We’ve pinpointed the key sites where teaching takes place. Check in the smallprint of the course you’re interested in to see where exactly you’d be based, especially if there are multiple locations spread across a wide area.
