Biomedical science at Reading

I have a place for this course at the uni but I live in London and it’s quite far from my house and I am not really considering moving out. It takes 1.53h and have to spend 35£ per day just to get there which is horrible. Is someone going to study or did biomed at the uni if so how did you commute how does the schedule look like? Does the lecture take place almost 5 days a week?

Unrelated but I’ll be studying pharmacy there and will be commuting from Paddington station which is next to me. It’ll take 35 mins max to get to the uni but will cost £26-30 a day including bus tickets and train.
Look into buying a season ticket or using Split tickets or going off peak.

Quite honestly that £35 daily is an investment into your future and people spend more on accom so try not to stress about the cost (easier said than done)
