Ranked: These are the 10 subjects with the most dateable Royal Holloway students
Of course psychology made the list
Royal Holloway is arguably one of the most romantic universities in the UK. The university even lets students, staff and alums get married in the historic chapel!
But, dating at uni can be a minefield, where do we start? You could start by whittling down your options and maybe check out which subjects suit your dating vibes.
So, whether you’ve found your special someone or are still pining over the guy who you shared a glance with at the club but doesn’t know you exist, here is your ultimate list of the Royal Holloway subjects with the most dateable students.
10. Law
What is sexier than a partner who has your back? Who better to date than someone who knows how to get you out of trouble? Advocate for you when you can’t advocate for yourself? It just makes sense to date a future lawyer.
On top of the obvious, anyone who wants to go into law is bound to make a lot of money, so that lovely holiday you’ve been dreaming of is no longer a dream.
Law students, you were an obvious choice for the top 10. Any single law student is bound not to stay single for too long.
9. Accounting and finance
Please hear me out. I don’t know about you, but I won’t say no to a man who can sort out my finances. Flirting? These students have a love language, and it is saving you money.
Most Read
You’re about to buy that fifth dress you can’t afford? Your accounting boyfriend swoops in and saves the day by putting the money in a Lifetime ISA. In this economy, nothing says longevity like a man who keeps you economically afloat. What do you want to save, your bank account or your heart?
8. Psychology
Do I even have to explain this one? They are probably the most understanding people regarding how you’re feeling.
One of the worst feelings is opening up to someone and getting the reply: “Maybe you should talk to a therapist?” Not with a psychology boyfriend! He is the therapist! Money saver, mental uplifter, and won’t ever make you feel like a burden. Yes. Please.
7. Geography
Nothing says love like a person who cares enough about the planet to study it.
These students will be doing nature documentaries at 90 with an iconic voiceover.
They love the earth so much that they want to make it a better place for you and the family you may have together.
6. Biomedical sciences
Sick of waiting for an appointment with your GP? Distrusting of Dr Google? Are you done with being told you’re overreacting? Well, here is your answer.
Not only that, but this is a very, very difficult degree, from what I hear. If someone can commit to a bio med degree, they can commit to anything. But seriously, if you ever have anything you are worried about, please consult a doctor or GP.
5. Philosophy
I keep hearing stories of people wishing they had deeper conversations with their SO. Well, have you ever tried a philosophy boyfriend? Gone are the days when you only talked about their favourite Minecraft skin or the next release of FIFA with a philosophy boy from Royal Holloway, and you could expect deep intellectual conversations that may or may not lead to something more exciting.
4. Liberal arts
I admit I had no idea what this was until five minutes ago, but now I am entirely convinced these students are super dateable.
Liberal arts girlies have no idea what they want to do, so they do everything! What more could a modern student want than a partner open to anything?
Are you struggling to choose what to order at a restaurant with your liberal arts boyfriend? Don’t worry! He’s just ordered the whole menu! Problem solved.
Dating a liberal arts student from Royal Holloway will be one of the most freeing experiences you will ever have.
3. History
As a history student, you will never have any awkward silences needing to be filled with small talk. These students are all clued up with the latest gossip from the last 1,000 years and will not disappoint.
Gone are the days when you tried to fill the awkward silence on a date because your historian partner always had something to say; yes, it would probably be dark, but you win some, you lose some.
Considering what they know, they are probably grateful to be alive in the 21st century, so they are easy to talk to and very positive people.
2. English
Have you ever dreamed of a true Bridgerton-style romance? Then look no further. Royal Holloway English students can often be found escaping reality with their heads in a book, so when it comes to dating, they either go big or go home.
Considering they are analysing characters in novels all day, they will know how to treat you right. Just ensure you don’t wear red on a date until you know you like them, or they might take it the wrong way (if you know, you know).
1. Modern Languages
Someone studying another language has to take the top spot. Whether it’s the language of love, Italian, or the language of sexy men, Spanish, the fact that these students are willing to take another language seriously shows how important it is for them to integrate themselves into a culture that isn’t theirs—and I’m all for it!
These students are the most dateable at Royal Holloway because they know that language is the best way to a person’s heart. Single or dual modern languages students, make yourselves known!
