Hi, I'm Sid. I am a first-generation, state-educated university student at Reading. I am currently completing a foundation year in BSc Business & Management at Henley Business School and will be transitioning to LLB Law with International Business next year. I remember how difficult it is to pick the right university, Reading has so much support, opportunities and great teaching. I am currently living in halls but will be commuting next year. I can answer questions about life in university halls, foundation year experiences, courses, support available, general university life at Reading, the application process, university transitioning, or any other university or Reading-related queries.
