Reading week?

Hey, I'm a first year Modern languages student at Leicester uni. Many of my friends at other uni's have a reading week at the moment - just wondering if I will.

You're a first year modern language student! Sorry, I've just been given an offer by Leicester for Italian and Spanish, may I ask what languages you do? And is the language dep. nice and do you enjoy Leicester in general? :smile:

Hey, I'm actually doing modern languages with management which involves Spanish and Italian. I really like it here and the modern languages department are really nice and helpful.
What other uni. you considering?

Cool that's great, Spanish and Italian are the best :p:

I'm considering Kent and Sussex as well, but the other two I applied to I'm not considering because they're too far/don't like them. But Leicester looks to be the favourite so far :smile:

My flatmate does Italian and Spanish...the course is really small, there's about 5 people. Obviously there are people doing pure Italian and people doing pure Spanish and other language combinations, so you wont be stuck with just 4 others in your lectures :p:

, but it means that it's pretty personal and you get a lot of one-to-one attention with tutors, which my friend loves.

Oh awesome, thanks for that :smile:

Yeah I heard it was small. If there were only 4 others in my lectures it would be an improvement on my class size for italian now, there are four of us :p:

I'm seriously considering Leicester atm, I just need to visit once more... and visit the others once more too!

You've still got ages to decide, don't rush into anything. I applied to Kent too and I really loved it. But beware of the accommodation costs! Leicester's rooms are much nicer for about £1000 a year less. Not that I'm biased or anything...
