Going to this university has been the best decision I have ever made. I’ve made lots of friends from my course, societies and socialising outside. The library and facilities are gorgeous and have enjoyed my first year!
I love the university green spaces, but food and drinks are very expensive - I think more needs to be done to support students financially.
The campus environment is actually quite nice.
amazing university, all facilities are great
Very good pick your society well
events on almost everyday very good and helps for socialising
i have definitely enjoyed what campus has to offer however i do feel like i need to experience clubs and societies more and further explore the facilities.
.overall decent, could definitely be improved, such as the university handling issues with the WiFi, more reliable cleaning and trash removal services
In regards to the options provided, I can’t complain they were relatively ok
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
The buildings on campus are pretty good, and we are offered a fair amount of opportunities
The students union is really good, lots of activities happening all the time and lots of social areas to go to socialise with friends.
Good environment in campus. Great variety of societies.
I am very happy with all university facilities
Beautiful campus and lots to do on nights out here, library is amazing. Also lots of smaller activities to do during the day!
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. SU does takes lots of time to answer and book for activities, I do like activities generally but I would prefer more networking events would be nice. Thank you
I’ve enjoyed my time so far at the university of Reading, I really enjoy campus and found the range of societies impressive.
I had some poor experiences with societies so may be biased. However the library and wifi connection are all good.
Reading has been a great experience so far, with the campus being the main highlight as it provides a great social experience and ease of everything being close together
Very beautiful campus with lovely green spaces and excellent facilities
As an international student in uk. My experience was amazing with the campus and university life.
I would love to stay here forever with my uni friends
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
Facilities are good but sometimes when special events happen they inform students a bit last minute.
Not bad, but the social life, career service, wifi, facilities e.c.t. wasnt why I came
Mostly they are just fine but they can get better
The societies have been instrumental in helping me settle at University.
Good university with good facilities. WiFi is speedy although sometimes have issues staying connected.
Enjoying my time here, well funded uni. Beautiful campus, very clean.
All very helpful and great awareness of all of them
Life on campus is good i love their thursdays where they bring multiple food outlets including fresh farm food - fruit and veg its amazing quality
not had many problems. during busy times like exam periods it is tricky to find space in the library
lovely green campus with lots to do. always something happening from wednesday union to food markets.
I like the sustainability commitments of the entire university
great university life however couldnt help but think maybe the su could have better music events.
Love everything just wish there was a greater variety of societies
Bridges halls has good wifi, with fast ethernet, there are many clubs/societies, the sports facilities are ok, however could be better.
Perfect University experience at Reading University. It has been one of a kind.
Amazing campus and facilities.
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.
Beautiful Uni, kind teachers and staff, very good online platforms, everything works very nice. Diverse and inclusive. Very happy with my experience
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.
I like the campus and university.
Overall it is good. There are often some nice activities and events to attend especially with academic events such as the Gratuate Fair and Careers Fairs which are very good.
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.
You’ll have a great time here I can guarantee that
The unis very nice, the campus especially is very green and calming. The su is also nice, lots of spots to spend time with friends.
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.
Great uni with good facilities. SU is a bit small, rarely anything exciting goes on. Internet across campus is dodgy, particularly slow in HBS G11 and palmer 109
Great campus; very green with lots of wildlife around.
Average amount of resources not always sure where to find them though
Great experience in the university, careers service is top tier.
The campus is really nice and the facilities are good but I haven't used all of them so I can't really comment on them
In terms of societies, there are many.
Not enough food places, only cold sandwhiches really
Facilities and services are okay but not promoted enough
The campus life at Reading is great! It has so much to offer, from coffee shops, bars, pop-up food stalls once a week, to beautiful walks, gardens, and more. There is a frequent bus service that runs from the campus to town every 10 minutes. The library located on central campus is spacious and modern, and a very popular study space. The university also offers many opportunities beyond studies, such as career advice, part-time jobs, and internships. Overall, it's a lovely place to be.
theres wifi everywhere which is amazing, socities sports are so expensive and not many fun other social ones (comment should of gone on the other note but i forgot so going to write here) also would be useful to have something other than coop, as coop is not the best budget for students een with their coop which doesnt do much also its very small and if something goes wrong like cyber attack we are experecing rn then students don't have much supermarket option for food. Maybe the university could try to make a contract with lidl aldi or asda as a student going into town for these places can even bring much back as we aren't allowed cars
The University is a good experience overall
Nice campus with most of the buildings being within a 10-15 minutes walk of each other.
Everything ok, campus is big and there are a lot of activities
Overall great uni experience. The campus is very green and dog friendly.
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.
good experience living in Stenton townhouses. No issues with internet and people were really ind and helpful
Campus life was excellent and good
Have loved every minute of my time at reading! Great student union, supportive staff, lovely green campus, amazing library!! Would recommend to everyone .
I didn’t join many clubs but the social events were good. There’s mojos and union if you don’t have time on the weekends
The school facilities could be renovated to be more modern.
There are great number of support systems at the university. I would suggest that the library has better opening hours to accommodate postgraduate students who are studying over the holidays.
Not worth 9k teaching is a bit poor
My 1st year at reading has been amazing and i feel like i made the most of it by immersing myself in plenty of societies and meeting a wide range of people
Great university! Would suggest to include more sustainability subjects in the Program Module curriculums. It would be great to have more sports competition or active life in the weekends, maybe making use of the fields and creating a bigger community
Extremely pleasant campus and supportive students union. I have been to see careers and they are always very helpful. Some clubs and societies do not operate efficiently.
Overall, my campus experience was vibrant, and there were so many different activities always going on at the campus to get involved in.
I found that the facilities were really good. Particularly the library and the agriculture building, where I had most of my lectures. I didn’t use that much which the Student Union offered, but the club nights were quite good
everything is enjoyable and you can get a fair amount of out what is offered here
The university is good but could be better
So so amazing just incredible all round!
Great uni to go to! Highly recommend
Studying at the University of Reading has been amazing experience. The Careers Service is very active and puts on many events. The campus is large and beautiful. The student union has lots of fun things to do.
The University of Reading offers top-notch facilities—perfect for both studying and relaxing. The clubs and societies are fantastic, helping me make friends and explore new hobbies. The SU is lively, supportive, and fun, while the Careers Service gave me invaluable job advice. Plus, the Wi-Fi is super reliable for work and entertainment. This campus isn’t just a place to study—it’s a vibrant community I’ll miss dearly. 100% recommend!
Lots going on, everywhere is clean and nice
Great social uni. Campus is really pretty.
Good campus and overall facilities.
A lot to do around campus and at the Students Union
Campus is lovely in the summer, very green. Facilities are good.
Library is great and the clubs are so good.
All of the above are executed very well at reading
The campus is beautiful and well-maintained, and the overall facilities are excellent. The library is especially impressive – a great place to study and access resources. The Wi-Fi is reliable and fast across campus. As a PhD student, I don’t actively participate in the Students' Union or societies, but from what I’ve seen on social media, they’re very active and popular among undergraduates. It seems like there’s always something going on!
The campus is amazing, green space everywhere and it’s clear the the student union cares a lot about this uni.
Great they help students a lot for their career. And the student union is very helpful and they also have student support groups.
Campus is large with lots of green space. Some facilities are kind of old but well maintained.
Reading goes above and beyond for its student in and outside of the classroom.The Union facilities have been beyond my favourite part of my student experience here so far.
Nothing too bad honesty but not the best uni
Staff are welcoming and helpful with any queries, concerns or just a chat. The Internet work well, however in certain buildings the WiFi doesn't seem to always connect.
Not been able to connect to wifi in lectures at all. Campus is very scenic and lovely to walk around. Lots of events to get involved in.
Really nice campus, very much enjoy the nature
Studying at the University of Reading has been enlightening
I like my life in this school very much!
