17 reasons to go to Royal Holloway (Feat: Things I love about Egham)
1) The Founders Building that looks like Hogwarts.
2) The Boiler House studio that has a big beamed ceiling and sprung, centrally heated floor.
3) Big, antique library inside aforementioned Founders Building.
4) Gothic with a capital 'G' chapel inside aforementioned Founders Building.
5) My drama teacher, Tom, goes there.
6) It is NOT a drama school.
7) I'll get a London student loan if I go there.
8) It's close enough to home that I can come back and pester my friends at church, maybe even see my parents.
9) Egham is a lovely place, it's nice and quiet but near enough to Staines, London, Windsor to make it interesting.
10) Egham sounds like 'egg-them' said really quickly.
11) My parents used to live near Egham, as did several members of my family. Before she died, my gran was thrilled to think that I'd be going there. Actually, she got confused and thought I already was there.
12) Did I mention it looks like Hogwarts?
13) There's about two billion churches in Egham.
14) The lady in the Italian restaurant we went to made me some home made iced tea because they didn't have any in bottles. It tasted naff but I was touched.
15) 'Egham' has lost all meaning and is now just a very funny word.
16) If I go there, I'll be able to watch and read Harry Potter without feeling sad that I don't attend Hogwarts because I ALREADY WILL!!!
17) There's a Tesco in Egham. Continuation of my employment with everyone's favourite supermarche will allow me to FINALLY reap my reward in the form of a 10% discount card. Not to be sniffed at when you're counting out the pennies for your tins of Value beans.
