1 STUDY ABROAD & EXCHANGE ORIENTATION PROGRAMME Tuesday 6 January 2015 to Friday 9 January 2015 GROUP ID:

2 Welcome A big welcome from the University of Roehampton, London We like to welcome you to Roehampton slightly earlier than UK students so that you can settle in, adjust to a new time zone and benefit from information specifically designed to make the start of your academic programme more comfortable. Orientation gives you time to adjust and to feel more confident in speaking English, if this is not your first language. The Roehampton orientation also includes an introduction to London and the public transport system. All sessions are compulsory unless otherwise indicated P1-22 Buildings and venues 32 Gilbert Scott Lecture Theatre Residences Southlands A Wesley Court B Epworth Court C Aldersgate Court D Southlands Lodge Digby Stuart E Shaw House F Lee House G Bede House H Newman House I Stuart Lodge Froebel J Old, New and Garden Court K Lawrence L Linden House M Aspen House N Willow House 10 Romero Court Whitelands O Beverley, Cheltenham P Durham, Gilesgate Q Kings, Melrose R Walpole, Sutherland Mount Clare S Albers, Andre, Appell T Balla, Bellini, Blake U Calder, Catlin, Cornell V Dali, Degas, Dufy W Eakins, Epstein, Etty r Richmond Park LAVERSTOKE GARDENS 2 a short walk of each other. 3 Howard Building Froebel College 28 L M N NOT TO SCALE Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) Southlands College Duchesne Building Roehampton Lane Site P9 P Hirst Library Pedestrian access between Froebel College and Digby Stuart and Southlands Colleges F r o e b e l D r i v e Clarence Lane Gate 26 K CLARENCE LANE (Short cut to Danebury Avenue opposite) P1 6 L i m e Tr e e W a l k E 7 B C P11 P W i s t e r i a Wa A 5 Duchesne Walk lk F a t h e r R y a n s W a l k D P2 Digby Stuart Drive P3 1 2 P4 3 Digby Stuart Drive P7 P8 12 H 16 Grove House 29 Southlands Drive Downshire House G J F Digby Stuart Drive P13 P12 F r o e b e l D r i v e Barnes Station (15-min walk) I ROEHAMPTON LANE Queen s Building Roehampton Lane Gate Information Centre Digby Stuart Chapel Site of Queen Mary s Hospital Queen Mary s Hospital Car Park Froebel Gate Whitelands College and Mount Clare Sites (10-min walk) Mount Clare Site Whitelands College Dover House Playing Fields Sports Pavilion Parkstead House P14 P15 P P U T 36 P17 P18 37 P19 P21 O Whitelands Drive V Mount Clare P20 P Q W R HOLYBOURNE AVENUE M Roehampton Lane Site (Straight ahead, past Danebury Ave and turn left into Roehampton Lane) DANEBURY AV E NUE Main INSTEAD GARDENS Mount Clare Site Main Whitelands Reception Main Site Whitelands Site Our sites are all within Whitelands Site Southlands Digby Stuart Froebel
