Whilst applying to University in 6th form, I remember how overwhelming it was wandering where I would sit in my future. But looking back, knowing where I am now, I have to admit I am so content with my choice. The University of Reading (UoR) ended up being perfect for me: Its not too far from London and I get to be a part of the globally recognised Henley Business School. As I aspire to grow my career in Marketing, I get to take advantage of the opportunities available at the UoR
