Hi, I'm Matilda. Before starting my Real Estate degree at the University of Reading, I studied A-levels in Art, Geography and Physics. I also completed an EPQ titled 'can zero carbon housing ever really exist over the entirety of the UK' as I have always been interested in sustainability. After university I plan to become a rural surveyor in Cambridge. Outside of studies I enjoy taking part in lots of sports including horse riding and sailing and I am part of the lacrosse society.
Abbie
University of Reading
BA Classical Studies
I'm a Classical Studies student in my first year at the University of Reading. At A-level, I studied History and Performing Arts. I'm the first sibling to go to university, so I know what it's like to feel a bit lost and confused about the future. In my free time, I like to read about Greek Mythology.
Abi
University of Reading
BSc Business and Management (Marketing)
Hi, I'm Abi!
I am a part of the University of Reading; however, I am originally from a small town in South Wales. I have always had a keen interest in Business Marketing; even when I was young, I used social media to create a platform to share and promote my journey in horse riding. As I have grown older, I now work for the University's engagement and content creation team and wish to pursue this further once I graduate. University has allowed me to explore my interests, make new friends and be more independent and confident in myself, which I had struggled with in the past. There is so much support from the university and the community, which I believe has helped me grow.

Bella
University of Reading
MSc Theory and Practice in Clinical Psychology (with clinical or research placement)
A little about me: I'm 24, and still got lots to figure out but never stressed about it. I'm always happy to talk about life, fiction and everything in between--and meeting new people is a personal hobby of mine. My plans for getting more people to watch horror movies with me is steadily failing, but my future career-planning is going alright. So, you win some and you lose some, I guess.
And a little for you: If you're ever feeling down, might I recommend singing, dancing or eating--it's really the simple joys in life that gets most people through. If you need to talk about life and uni, you're more than welcome to shoot me a message :)
Warmest Wishes,

Hattie
University of Reading
MSci Speech and Language Therapy B62M
Hi! I started at Reading in 2021 and have loved every minute! Transitioning straight from sixth form to uni definitely felt like a big step but knowing other people were in the same boat as me was very reassuring. I moved here from a small town and now love the mixture of beautiful campus and bustling town centre. Helping others has always been a passion of mine so doing a course which works towards a career dedicated to this is super rewarding, and I would love to work with children in the future. I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have so ask away!
