Hillside Court Hillside Court is a small estate of fifteen houses built around a grass courtyard. Places are offered for one year in the first instance, but most students will be able to remain at Hillside if they want to.
All houses are of mixed sex and nationality.
Facilities include a telephone for incoming calls in each house, payphones on site for outgoing calls, a launderette, car park and bicycle shed. Residents can use their own computers and printers in their rooms. There is a large room suitable for study, meetings, etc, which is also used by many overseas societies and Hillside's own residents for social functions. Private accommodation This term covers self-catering accommodation in houses or flats shared with other students or with the owner. In the Reading area rented accommodation is fairly expensive, especially places which are suitable for married couples and families.
