• Extracurricular events also were modelled on skill enhancement, which contributed towards CV building.

• It cost me around 15 lakhs for tuition fees. I had also opted for on-campus accommodation, which was charged. The accommodation included catering for almost one full year, barring the last 4 weeks or so. The tuition fee was charged at the beginning; however, the accommodation rent could be paid on a weekly/monthly basis. Reading town has most of the things needed for regular day-to-day use.

• All the facilities were provided. No shortage of anything. Notably, the meal plans for students who wish to have the university's food can also have it at a subsidized cost. There are several clubs in university and one can join as many as one wishes. Every wednesday there is a University club if one wants to get some exposure and speak about one's interests and talk to others.

Close to London which is the financial capital of England, the Course was being offered for more than 20+ years, a Reputable university.

£19,715/year (£1.00=?100 approximately).

Aspects that drove me to accepting the offer of admission was the central location of the university. I also was drawn to the fact that the university was strong and well known for the LLB Law program I was attending.

The total tuition fees for my program were 17000 pounds in UK currency. This excluded housing and additional amenities that were required to be on campus and enrolled into the program.

I feel very strongly and the conservation of animals, especially marine animals. There is a growing problem with plastic pollution and it needs to stop, we are killing our oceans FAST. I joined this course so that I am able to help in many ways other can't and hopefully save the planet.

Fees are normal and similar to other universities, however, the loans given are too small. I am at reading and our house prices are ridiculously high but our loan doesn't cover it as we don't live in the London area.

Great campus people are really supportive and helpful. Really willing to help you settle and support you throughout the process. This university seems to really value and support its students.

Accomodation rent fees , paid in fixed payments Grocery shopping Social life( restaurants, club entrance)

Excellent course, less pretentious feel than other universities, friendly community. Nice campus, felt at home. Good research reputation. Overall, the best fit for me, compared with other universities offering similar courses

As a home student, I pay $9,250 per year, through government student finance. This is paid in installments. Accommodation costs are high - $150 per week is standard for a small room.
