Wantage Hall

From Freepedia

Image:Wtgloglm.jpg Wantage Hall is the oldest hall of residence of the University of Reading, in the town of Reading in the UK. The hall is situated just off the University's Whiteknights Campus, twenty minutes walk from the town centre, ten minutes from the University library and five minutes from the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Christchurch Green, with shops and buses to the town, is nearby.

Wantage Hall was built in 1908 and a new court added in 1970. It is renowned within the University for its formals, which always sell out. It currently offers students 19 catered meals a week, accommodating 245 students.

The Junior Common Room

Fourteen students are elected annually to represent their peers within the hall and to organise events. This committee runs the JCR, putting on events and using JCR fees to fund events for the students.

Wantage Hall has produced the last three Presidents of Reading University Students' Union.
