THINGS TO CONSIDERCHOOSE YOUR RESIDENCY PERIOD• 40 weeks: You rent your room during term time and the

Christmas and Easter vacations. This means you move in just

before the start of Welcome Week and move out after the

end of the Summer Term. This option is normally preferred

by undergraduate students.

• 51 weeks: You rent your room during term time and the

Christmas, Easter and Summer vacations. This means you move

in just before the start of Welcome Week and move out at the

end of the Summer Vacation. Postgraduate students often

select this option - you are advised to check with your academic

department in respect of course dates as to which contract

length will be appropriate for you.

Note: a limited number of 38-week contracts are also available.

YOUR PREFERRED ROOM TYPEIt is a good idea to think about the room type that may suit you

best. Consider whether you are happy to share a bathroom,

whether it is important for you to be in a modern hall or would you

prefer a more traditional style. The following pages should help

guide you through your choices.

POSTGRADUATES We have a limited number of rooms available for postgraduate

students. See www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/

accommodation/university-accommodation/specific-

requirements.aspx for more information and details of which halls

have designated postgraduate areas.

SINGLE GENDER ACCOMMODATIONWe have a limited number of areas in halls that are designated

as single gender only. See www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/

accommodation/university-accommodation/specific-

requirements.aspx for more information and details of which

halls offer single gender areas.

YOUR ACCOMMODATION BUDGETUtility bills, Wi-Fi and a basic level of contents

insurance are all included in the accommoda-

tion costs. If you choose a catered hall you will

receive a catering allowance of £63 per week

(31 weeks of term time) to spend on meals.

Other accommodation costs you might want to consider

include laundry charges, the cost of food if you are in a self-

catered hall, JCR membership, TV licence and any additional

contents insurance. For advice about managing your money

and budgeting see
