Name: Anju

Department: Biological Sciences

Course: Biology

Hobbies: I am definitely a lover of all things outdoors; from looking after my numerous pets to wandering around Windsor park! I also love cooking, watching plenty of Netflix, and reading all kinds of books- the longer, the better!

Why did you want to be a Peer Guide leader?: I was instantly excited about the role of Peer Guide Leader as I enjoy any opportunity to share (and show off!), the many joys of this marvellous university with as many people as possible. I see this role as a sociable and fun way to make an important contribution to the Royal Holloway community.

How can having a Peer Guide help a first year student?: The most obvious answer to this question is, of course, that it its always nice to know another friendly face on campus! This will be true of your Peer Guide, whether you choose to meet only on occasion, or if you approach them for advice regularly- it's up to you. Also, as a commuting student I understand how hard it can be to settle into uni if you don't live in halls, so getting firsthand advice on how to make the most of uni-life can be very handy indeed.
