Close to amenities and park bar as well as convenient being on campus. Lack of social spaces other than the shared kitchen within the living area. read more

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the location convenient being on campus and being close to amenities and Park Bar.

We appreciate your comments regarding the lack of social spaces beyond the shared kitchen. While kitchens do serve as a great hub for day-to-day interaction, all of our halls are equipped with JCRs and common rooms, providing plenty of spaces for socializing beyond individual flats. Additionally, our Home@Halls team regularly hosts events in these communal areas to help bring students together and create a vibrant community.

If you would like to discuss further or share more detailed feedback, please do reach out on accommodationonline@reading.ac.uk or 0118 200 5011.

Kind Regards, The Reading Accommodation Team

They are able to park in the carpark nearby for a limited time - Roughly an hour to help you move in. Before the move-in day, you will get an e-mail to book in this timeslot.

On the application page, it has separate options for Greenow house and McCombie house, I'm not sure which to choose, is there a difference?

Both are the same, they're separate buildings right next to each other
