University of Reading Speciality : Modern Languages
programme: Spanish and Business Management

Reading University’s main Whiteknights Campus, where most accommodation and university buildings are located, is a beautiful scenic site with lots of nature and wildlife. There’s plenty of green spaces and woodland area which allows students to sit outside and relax in the sun or go for a morning jog so if you are looking for a campus with lots of greenery then Reading is definitely a good choice. There are also plenty of activities organised by the Junior Common Room Committe (JCRs) and the Your Halls Life team which can vary from student club nights and quiz nights to bbq’s, crafting sessions, easter egg hunts, trips to Ikea and many more. So it’s really easy to meet new people and make friends especially when you’re in your first year. As a Spanish and Business student my degree is split between the European languages and business department and my experience with both has been great, the module conveners are really easy to talk to if you have any issues or questions about the course. Also every student is assigned a personal tutor who you can speak with about more personal issues. The only thing I would say should be improved is the cafe’s and food places on campus as many of them are quite expensive in comparison to local cafes and bars and should offer a greater discount for students.
