Guys i just found out that Stenton Townhouse is not available for First Years. Instead I would say go for Bridges Townhouse. The only downside is the distance from main campus and other accommodations. There is a good level of social life still and not too far from the on campus club.

[@brunv4100]

Is Bridges really that far from the rest of campus? The accommodation office told me that it's roughly the same walking distance to the centre of campus as other premium en-suites but what I've seen from student reviews say otherwise

[@chloetetts]

tbh bridges just feels far because it’s not near to the other on campus accoms (mackinder, stenton and childs). It’s not actually THAT far from campus but it also depends on which buildings you’ll regularly visit.

[@MattRandon]

stalking people that are going to the uni I went to 4 years ago hahaha ily so much you so pretty and love your personality pls keep making videos!!

[@chloetetts]

LMAOOO!! Thank you for the compliments! You literally glow in your videos. How was your time at Reading? What did you study?? SPILL THE TEA.

[@rosie_kay_1735]

Seeing this video makes me so excited and relieved because I’ve firmed the University if Reading for this year in September 😂. Thank you so much for your honest review.😊

[@chloetetts]

I’m really happy you found the video helpful😆! If you have any questions at all let me know 💕

[@robymos22]

Me too! Maybe we’ll meet there

[@user-rm6gr2ry9h]

Hey application is open for September

[@user-rm6gr2ry9h]

??

[@alistairreed3514]

What do you call a berkshire town whereby the majority of it's residents are passionate about books? Reading

[@user-rm6gr2ry9h]

Is the September application open ?? I want to start in September when do I apply

[@cerysradcliffe]

Can you stay in halls beyond your first year, or do you HAVE to find a house? If so, how easy is it to find affordable housing? Thanks.

[@rozaliaacal]

when i went to apply for accomodations i was going to get stenton townhouse but when i called them when i couldnt see it on the website they said it wasnt available for first years... might look into it for second year

[@chloetetts]

try bridges!! it’s a bit further away but it’s still on campus and a bit cheaper. close to a 24/7 m&s and have nice showers.

[@MattRandon]

I remember no one at uni believed in me when I wanted to make social media my career so if you want to make it ur career too pls take it from me don't give up

[@chloetetts]

Thank you soo much! I'm for sure going to become more consistent in the coming year. I really loved doing these videos.

[@user-gm8th9tv3t]

Whats crazy, is how premium ensuite is around 230£

[@priyankagsyam]

Haiii could you tell me more about the course MSc Communication for Development?

[@chloetetts]

sorry but i don’t know anything about any masters degree because i’m just a first year😅 sorry.

[@princeaustin55]

Great content! Please if i miss the welcome activities from Sept 18 to Sept 23rd, is there any implication from missing? Can i still catch up, or are there ways the UoR would assist me in catching up these events?

[@chloetetts]

Hi! There are lots of activities stemming into October and November so don't fret. You can get more information for the Me@Reading portal, Home at Halls and event bright as well as the official SU Instagram too.

[@vivekbindra4590]

I’ve been allocated to Dunsden Crescent for September, do u know anything about what it’s like? Also what’s the workload like for first years at Henley?

[@chloetetts]

Yes! Dunsden is really close to Park Bar, Lounge, Reception and one of the closest accommodations to Henley. You guys have THE BEST washstation on campus. Dunsden isn’t known for hosting parties but you’re close to Mackinder and St. george’s so you can go to those parties/pres there. I know it’s catered so you’ll get food from Park Bar but I’m not the biggest fan of their food. First year work load for Henley was kind of light but there is quite a lot of group work. Depending on the type of group, first year can be a breeze.

[@loool1386]

@@chloetetts Dunsden has it's own washstation? As in only for people in that hall?

[@chloetetts]

some people that live in mackinder can also access it but it’s mainly for those who live in Dunsden.

[@terriejo]

it's the laugh that turns into a cough for me at the start actually dead. but thanks for the video very useful

[@chloetetts]

😭😂honestly idk what wrong with me sometimes. i’m glad you enjoyed 🤍🫶🏾✨

[@zahidstanikzai5200]

Hi Chloe i was asking you if there are any April/May/June Intake In this University This Coming Year.

[@chloetetts]

I'm not 100% sure but it is typically sep/oct time for undergrad intake here

[@shwetajangade1341]

hey loved your video information is really assuring yet I am confused in staying at halls or going for pvt accommodations Is life in halls that great to invest the extra amount?

[@jakegeer113]

I have not been to uni yet but from what I understand halls are probably worth it since it is an easy way to get to know all the people in the same year as you. I hope this helps.

[@chloetetts]

I would say both private and halls accomidation are expensive so for first year take money out of the equation. With that being said, being in halls makes socialising and commuting to campus MUCH easier. Going to union, lectures and town are all made simpler and more time efficient. In second year move to a uni house with friends in order to save some money!

[@chloetetts]

I totally agree!!

[@safiuddin2829]

for the first year i would recommend staying far from uni as you can explore reading properly

[@chloetetts]

:0 nooo. it’s easier to commute from campus to explore. i was able to find hiking trails, unknown dining spots and activities all while living on campus!

[@tokeemmanuel-aina8097]

Hey, what were the contact hours/ workload like x

[@chloetetts]

I’m not sure which course you’re asking about specifically but all of those details can be found on the universities website!

[@rajehaasaf5201]

Loved your video! Great energy! I am starting the foundation year program at university of reading & then want to attend the Henley business school for business management & marketing. Can you give me tips about the best housing options for foundation Yr students please. How is kendrick Hall? Also any tips about the foundation year programme? Thank you so much

[@chloetetts]

Hi!! I’m not too sure what I can advise in terms of study for your foundation year but I’m sure you will be fine. The staff at Henley are super supportive so your progression is basically guaranteed to be smooth. Kendrick hall is nice but I noticed that the friends I had there weren’t able to socialise to the same extent of those that lived on campus. If you can try your best to get campus accommodation! If you ever find yourself struggling contact your star mentor (you’ll get to know them in October).

[@davludi2612]

Hallo, hope you settle well my niece will be starting her foundation programme in January any advice on accommodation.

[@yoursavinash]

Please Can you tell about fees infrastructure for 2 years course for Masters

[@chloetetts]

Heyy! As I'm an undergrad student I cant offer much support on this. I would suggest getting into contact with admin at the University.

[@Hamza00011]

Hey, i have a question. Are there many pakistani/indian/south asian students here? Thanks

[@chloetetts]

I have a couple of south asian friends from the uni and I think there is a Pakistani Society. Check out the university’s website to double check!

[@swagatasarkar8083]

Well .. I got the 'quite' room at St George... Will be able to focus on research with limited noice...

[@chloetetts]

Hey!! I think you should be fine. If you find that there is lots of noise you can always call Home at Halls. They have a 24/7 hotline and security will deal with the noise with a short lead time. Additionally, there are lots of quite places in town and on campus you can use too. My favorite's are the common rooms in St Georges, the silent levels in the library and the private rooms in the Lego/URS Building.

[@jillharris-kuhn761]

Quite what? Quite big/small/ugly etc?

[@swagatasarkar8083]

@@jillharris-kuhn761 it's a quieter accomodation with rules regarding noice. That's it. Everything else you have states depends on the amount of money you are willing to spend. I am happy with my current accomodation. You coming to Reading too?

[@borrobarra7935]

What’s ACS

[@chloetetts]

The ACS is the African Caribbean Society. Its a fun society that anyone can join but a lot of BAME students use it to network and find new friends. They hold a lot of events throughout the year.

[@moths7783]

im on a research spree rn (a little late considering i start in september-) but so far I've heard nothing about st patricks halls and i don't know if that's good or bad 💀

[@Sophia-fh1mr]

literally same omg

[@tomiwabolarinwa197]

i've firmed the uni and gotten my acceptance letter for LLB law how is their society

[@chloetetts]

woohoo!! congratulations. i’ve got no clue but they have a ball annually which is cool

[@iiGuess1]

Hello Chloe😁

[@AneesKhan-yf1nz]

Hows the diversity

[@chloetetts]

it’s a good spread! i personally see a lot of diversity on campus as well as in the accommodation. my flat was made up of people from 5 different countries alone.
