After the fun of freshers week, it was time to knuckle down and start what I came to uni for. My first term of my first term involves 4 compulsory modules and an extra optional one. I have 2 Meteorology modules (Introduction to Meteorology and Weather & Climate fundamentals) as well as 2 Maths modules (Calculus and Vectors & Matrices). My optional module is Physics of the Natural World. Thankfully so far the Maths and Physics have been A Level difficulty, but I'm sure that will change very soon!
My timetable isn't too bad either, only 2 9am starts, and on Friday I don't start til 12!
The uni is fantastic, my only minor gripe is that it's a 20 minute walk from my hall to the Met building. But seeing as I have a bike and it's a very scenic route (through trees, fields and over a lake) I don't really mind.
I am also in catered accommodation (I'm lazy, I know!), you might think the food would be "questionable", but it's a brand new catering facility and the food quality/quantity is fantastic. My flatmates and coursemates are great too, although I am classed as a northerner here, despite my protests insisting I am a Midlander

. I'm so glad I'm not self catered, I am eating far better than a lot of them by the sounds of it. We don't get evening meals at weekends though so we can sample the takeaway cuisines of Reading 
Great to see you have settled in well and enjoying uni life!
I'm now about to start Week 6 (!) here and have a reading week coming up for Week 7, so will be halfway through my first term already! Loving it here though, the course I'm doing has been good and fairly basic so far but I am sure it will get harder very soon. Got a nice timetable too - two 9am starts and a 4 day weekend
Flatmates are great, and meeting loads of new people on the course so don't regret giving up home and job for uni! You're lucky to have catered accomodation! Plenty of my flatmates could do with that judging by the food they burn haha!
