I've had a really good experience here so far, there are so many good places to sit and study. The university also has a really good social scene but it has never gotten crazy to the point where I felt unsafe. The lecturers are really good at what they do and make sure everyone in every course gets the help they need. Everyone is very welcoming and the uni is very diverse. read more

My experience at the University of Reading has been incredibly rewarding. The campus is beautiful and well-equipped, with modern learning spaces, green areas, and a strong sense of community. Lecturers are supportive and passionate about their subjects, making the learning environment engaging and encouraging. The university offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, societies, and career support services that help students grow both personally and professionally. While there can be improvements in areas like administrative communication, overall, it’s a great place to study, meet people from diverse backgrounds, and prepare for a global career. read more

Initially eduroam was problem in the beginning of the semester but as time went by it got better. The careers support is very helpful and I would say is one of the best. Shout out to Dr Amanda Gill!! The students union nights on Wednesdays can be a bit boring sometimes, need to change up the music maybe and not play the same tunes all the time. A suggestion would be have an Afro vibe for Wednesday Union. read more

The reason I am at the Reading University is because it is the only university that offered Foundation Year starting in January, and that’s what I needed. But after progressing to the actual course, I discovered how great this uni is. Starting from campus and ending with studying facilities everything motivates you to work and achieve more. Also, there’s a lot of entertainment facilities on campus - societies, club nights, eating places - so you definitely won’t be bored. I recommend this uni a lot! read more

The pubs on campus are nice for post-graduates. I have not interacted too much with the societies or union as a post-grad but they appear to have lots of opportunities. The careers service have been really great for me, very friendly and helpful. The internet can be hit or miss but generally good enough read more
