Hi everyone! My name is Janakshi, and I'm from India. Where I live there are so many cultures, languages, traditions and religions even we Indians can't keep count! I really like animals (I have three dogs) and plants (I think I could start a succulent nursery with the amount of plants I have). I think you could describe me as someone who always questions everything, and I feel this inquisitiveness defines me as a person as well. I really like meeting new people especially when I'm able to have conversations that are personally meaningful in terms of understanding who someone is as a person, as well as being introduced to a whole new perspective on life - I think that's why I like philosophy so much! I hope I can meet and interact with some of you if you're attending online classes because I'm doing the online option. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm Santi, 18 years old and I'm from Argentina. I've lived in a lot of places around the world and for the past 3 years I was in Paris before coming to Reading. I am here doing BSc Architecture with International Foundation Year and I'm super excited to meet new people and make friends.

I'm a very flexible person, I can do a lot of things, from sports like football or fencing, which are my favorite sports, to going out to pubs or clubs with friends, to just staying in and watching youtube.

As you can see from the picture above my favorite artist is Post Malone, and whenever there's a party or gathering I always ask to put any posty song because I love what he does. Even though he's my favorite artist I love other artists like Kanye or J Cole.

Anyways, I can't wait for what university life in reading is going to bring and I can't wait to get started and meet people!

So, that's it. I look forward to properly meeting you guys soon and making some friends too.

You can see me on campus especially on the Mathematics ,Science and Statistics modules.
I take starting University as a big challenge as I have to find perfect balance between family life, work and uni.
In the free time I love to play video games (13 years ago I have met my husband for the first time in World of Warcraft), read fantasy books and zumba!
Why did I choose this picture? As it reminds me of my family back in Poland and the fact that there will always be sunshine after the rain.

I love Mathematics and science and books, all kind of books really...
I love playing PS as well, my favorite games are WITCHER, and Tomb Rider.

I love youtube searching too.

I was an Art student at high school, and I had studied Industrial Design at University in my country, for 3 years, so Maths is going to be my second course.

I havent had any Maths studies before in highschool, but, I have fall in love with Mathematics so I choose to start studying it all over from zero ...

I have some light readings about Philosophy and History of Maths but not so much academic, and thats why I planed to come to a university in England, because England has such a great History in Creating and studying Mathematics.
