- Move in to the University of Reading with me and get a room tour of my new room! I'm staying in Mackinder Halls in University which is a premium en-suite at the University of Reading. If you're thinking of coming to uni here he's a sneak peak of what the rooms like !

have the best time at reading! i'm in second year :)) (was in bridges hall but had friends in mackinder)
thank you, i’m in second year too! have a good year
Nice vid! Wanted to know if Mackinder has plenty of international returning students as well or if it’s mostly just for home students?
I found it was loads of international students returning it definitely wasn’t just home students.
@@priyaksuppiah ohh ok, that’s nice to hear. I’ll be coming to Mackinder as a returning student this year, is it most likely I’d be allocated in a flat with all other returning students rather than 1st years?
@@epicgamer6179 Yes, based on my experience and what I've been told returners don't get allocated flats with first years it should just be other returners.
@@priyaksuppiahcool! In your experience were you placed with other returners who also applied individually to return to halls? Are there certain blocks that they allocate to returners only? Also what house in Mackinder were you in? I’ll be at Fawley house this year :)
@@epicgamer6179 I was in Hurley at Mackinder. I find they assign you all to other returners who apply individually but I believe the blocks aren’t allocated for only returners.
What's the badminton clubs like at reading? Can I join if I'm just an intermediate casual player. Is there like a society for it?
The badminton clubs at the university are super good. The society has social playing so you can play casually once a week or there's also a team if you wan't to be more competitive.
@@priyaksuppiah Thanks!
Seems like u moved in at the same time as freshers cause of all that traffic on campus? I thought returning students can normally arrive later than that, like when term begins..
Yeah, I move in early as I like to be prepared and I help out with some freshers events so I get there early and have a week to chill before uni properly starts and it gives me time to get to know flatmates etc
@@priyaksuppiah oh so all your flatmates also moved in during freshers even though they were returning students? As I’m gonna be returning to halls for my 2nd year so just wanted to know when a good time to move in would be
@@define7220 some didn’t move in during freshers but a bunch did as there’s lots of events around campus then. I just find moving in early gives more time to adjust bcs every year is different.
Is the underbed storage enough to store suitcases? If not where would suitcases be stored?
Yes the under bed storage is huge and that's where I stored my suitcases.
How were your new flatmates in 2nd year? Did you become close friends with them?
Yeah I found them super nice and became close with quiet a few
Hey how did you apply for it the second time
I’m in my first year now and I want to apply again to stay in my accommodation for second year
You go through the accommodation portal and apply as a current student, you can apply with friends or individually.
@@priyaksuppiah thank youu!
Did you apply to halls in second year individually and got new flatmates or with a group of friends?
I applied individually and got new flatmates and it has been brilliant !
@@priyaksuppiah Ah nice. And were your flatmates mostly at your level (ie second year students) or was it mixed?
@@define7220 it was a mix, a few 2nd years and some 3rd and 4th years.
Would you recommend returning to halls as a 2nd year? And will you be staying in halls for 3rd year also?
Yes I would definitely. I will be returning as a 3rd year as it's just easier when everything is so hectic with uni life.
@@priyaksuppiah okay cool, good to know. Will you be at Mackinder again for 3rd year? And would you recommend Mackinder specifically as a good hall option for returning students?
@@Yo-jx1fe i’m not at mackinder again no but i would really recommend for returning students.
@@priyaksuppiah thanks for the help :) will you be getting new flatmates again for your 3rd year or living with friends?
@@Yo-jx1fe I’m living with a friend + new flatmates as we just applied as a duo together.
