Royal Holloway is one of the latest universities to be added to Google’s Street View service, allowing everybody to explore campus from the comfort of their computer.

Google has added thousands of university campuses around the world to Street View, including over 75 UK university and college campuses. The addition comes just in time for the new academic year, making life a little bit easier for first years.

The update allows students to navigate campus online, something which could be very useful for finding car parks, cafes, buildings, and halls.

Detailed Maps directions to key locations and academic buildings on campus are also available– something which may be useful not just for first years, (Munro Fox Lecture Theatre, anyone?)
