The campus facilities are extensive, with places to socialise and to study. Societies are the best way to meet people and grow a network of friends at Uni. I haven’t used the career advice but I often receive emails so I know it’s available.

The campus was organised and ran rather well. Given I am a committe member on the Ecology society, the administrators for helping us students run the societies were very helpful. Furthermore, even if I didn't attend most, I was able to tell there were plenty of opportunities for careers fairs and other likewise events hosted for students who may benefit from the added support and guidance. The other societies were not anything laudable, but that could be put more down to subjective preference and what is run by students than by anything in regards to the University itself.

The University of Reading offers a great balance of academic support, social life, and a beautiful campus environment. Whiteknights campus is spacious and green, with excellent library and study facilities. There’s a wide variety of clubs and societies, and the Students’ Union is active with plenty of events and resources. The careers service is helpful, offering support for placements, CVs, and job searches. Wi-Fi is generally reliable across campus and halls. Overall, it’s a welcoming and supportive university with lots of opportunities to get involved and grow both academically and personally.

University of Reading has a beautiful campus with plenty of green space and a huge lake. It’s full of amazing facilities including cafes and shops which provide a range of different food and drink. The student union bar is my favourite and offers student deals and discounts as well as plenty of different events each night. The Union also has its own “nightclub” which is fun and always busy on Wednesday union nights. It’s a space which is also used for different society events which there are plenty of at Reading. Although I’m not at the end of my course and needing careers advice yet, I have heard and been told about the services they have to offer which guarantee you’ll find a job at the end of your course. As a whole, Uni of Reading has a lot to offer.

I don't use much of the campus, however the SU building and library is exceptional. The library could use with a couple more toilets and less issues in the toilets, such as malfunctioning flush buttons, however all good otherwise. Clubs and societies are nice, but some challenges are plain ridiculous. The careers department gives you a solid foundation to work with but not much support otherwise. Wi-Fi has never been an issue.

As a whole, I think its quite good, ive joined a few societies and there is usually a weekly meet up along with group chats or servers such as discord servers for everyone to easily access and interact. Student Union is also good with events such as Bingo Lingo where you can win prizes and have a fun time drinking with friends and easily meet new people. The building as well has its variety of shoos such as an Asian store, cafes, etc

Living in Creighton Court has been a truly enriching experience. The community atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it easy to build friendships and feel at home. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in various social activities, which not only helped me connect with fellow residents but also made my time here more enjoyable and memorable. The hall has been well-maintained, and the support from staff has always been responsive and friendly. I’m grateful for the positive environment that has supported both my academic focus and personal growth. I would highly recommend Creighton Court to any student looking for a vibrant and supportive university living experience

I really love the campus and the general atmosphere. I do not think Co-Op is the right supermarket in university it is expensive and mostly everything is out of stock.

Uni is good but nothing special in my opinion, I chose it for the green space and location to home. It is expensive but could just be as we are quite close to london

Campus is great, facilities are always clean and tidy. co-op in the general area is very helpful. Gym could do with refurbishment to modernise it, however if you are ok with slightly older equipment, it is absolutely fine.

I really love campus and I’m happy I’m spending 3 years here. The staff are exceptional with making you feel comfortable and helping you through difficult periods. The student union has great, free events and I’ve really been enjoying the petting zoos they’ve been bringing onto campus. WiFi on campus is generally good, I’ve only experienced it go down once this year, but was quickly fixed.

The campus is beautiful, with stunning green spaces and modern buildings, especially the labs in the Cole Museum of Zoology. It was easy to start a new society and has been great to run. Similarly, other societies have been engaging and fun to join. Lovely support from the Students Union and Career's Service. Wifi would be my only complaint as it can be a bit intermittent in some buildings/halls.

Campus is amazing, so nice to go on a walk with loads of greenery and wildlife. Really social and active union with a great club and food/drink places within it. So many events to go to and markets happening in the campus centre every so often. Although I haven't needed career advice at this point in time, I know there is a lot to offer and great help at any time. No complaints about the library, it's huge with multiple floors and everything you need. IT support is very helpful and fixed my issues instantly. At start of year, campus wifi was a bit dodgy in certain areas on my laptop but has been okay ever since that one time.

All excellent. I like the University of Reading very much. You can often see various small animals in the school. They are all very cute. The Student Union has a variety of activities every week, many of which are free. You can also get free gifts or prizes. I love it here.
