Read University of Reading Reviews
Good wifi on-site, honestly tried societies but not for me quite expensive and cliquey. SU was ok but music at union nights wasn’t rly that good and it was a lot of the same songs every week which was quite boring. in first term they did like an artic monkeys night with music from them and that kinda vibe and it was amazing. Careers team is so good i already found my 70 hrs placement so fast.
Amazing university! Personally love it especially as an international student :)
As described. Lots of suitable study spaces on campus and nice refreshing green walks. Lovely welcoming chaplaincy to relax there
great campus with plenty to explore. good facilities and good bars
Great range of societies to join, great sports facilities like football pitches and basketball courts. Great library very big, spacious and the quiet areas are nice to study in.
Very green, the river and woods are so nice to go through
Really good campus with lots of facilities on the London road campus in particular
The university of Reading campus is gorgeous, safe, and an incredible place to live and study. My first year here as an international student has been nothing short of perfect.
Academic facilities are great, but Sports Park leaves some things to be desired. In terms of sports infrastructure most needs are fulfilled, but it would be nice to see a pool added to the facilities, mainly for swimming society to cut costs on external pool rentals.
A nice university with a beautiful campus!
Very green campus, good sports societies.
It’s great and students could easily get resources and support from their academic tutors
A lovely campus with great green spaces, but there could be more areas for socialising
I really enjoyed my sports society in second year but not much in my first, it really depends on the years committee
Love the WiFi!!! And there are so many clubs
The university campus is absolutely gorgeous and green, so far I’ve enjoyed my decision of choosing to study here and the events around and out of campus encourage me to socialize and create relationships that will hopefully last.
Jane is amazing, love Wednesday union!!!
Amazing uni, great facilities and societies
Very good university, good experience as an international student.
I am happy with the facilities and societies on campus. I like how there are many places to chose from and that the cuisine caters many all dietary requirements. I just wish there were slightly more options for those with these requirements, especially if you have multiple.
overall excellent. Union, park bar and lecture rooms in close proximity
The University of Reading became more than just a place of study—it was where I found myself, where I truly came alive. Walking through its campus, I wasn’t just surrounded by books and lectures, but by the faces of friends who’d become like family. In every conversation, every late-night chat, I felt more grounded, more in tune with who I was meant to be. The energy of the place, the buzz in the air, pushed me to explore parts of myself I hadn’t yet met. It wasn’t just about learning from textbooks—it was about learning from life, and from the people who walked alongside me in those years
There is a wide range of societies to join, everything you could need is on campus and the student union is very big and has a range of rooms
University is great with lots of facilities and support available!!!
Great careers service, really happy with the advice provided.
Friendly staff on campus and amazing library facilities.
Great campus! Big but easy to get to everything
One of the best and greenest campuses there is in the uk can’t complain about it. Some buildings in the campus still have old structures and would be nice to see them get modernised. Reading student union is the best out there, a year full of fun
There’s an issue of conveying our difficulties to the staffs that may be related to several departments. Although they have directed us to the person, we have to reiterate what happened again and again until the we meet the right person that could solve the problems.
Friendly staff and lecturer, nice view
Great services and helpful university staff
wifi lacking in some areas across campus, careers are very helpful with issues but do not assist that much in placements - none of me or my coursemates were able to secure a placement but I suppose this is because computer science is very competitive
Campus is lovely and green although I wish there was better sports facilities
There are an amazing number of campus events and societies which have made my university experience memorable. However, the wifi is sometimes poor in the palmer building. Also, space in the library is limited and the cooperative food shop on campus is overpriced.
My first year was amazing and I really loved the uni life. I’m onto my second year now and can’t wait to dive into more university fun and attaining my degree by the end of the 3 years!!
My course was great, staff were clear and concise.
It’s been a good first year. The teachers and staff have been helpful during this period. However, the tables in the lecture halls of Henley Business School should be made with extra space, as it’s been quite cramp with a laptop on.
Good area with lots of green, a few eating/drinking places on campus
Reading campus is really nice with lots of green space and lots to do
The campus careers service I haven't personally used, I had trouble with the WiFi especially on mobile. Other than those the campus is a lovely place, clean spacious and plenty of eats and shops exactly what you need for a campus
Students union is great with many events and markets for fresh fruit and veg. Library is huge and quite new so good for studying
Overall there are facilities for different type of situations and they are quite useful and very understanding like the DAS team
I had overall awesome experience with home at halls and have attended almost all of their events at park group
The uni is good, needs better accommodation to match the standard of the campus
great SU and events, especially wednesday union on campus
A great place to study with very good facilities and people.
Campus is really nice and spacious. Convenient that there is a coop in it which is close to the park accommodations (stenton mackinder Childs Windsor). Library is also pretty good where it is modern. The student union is also nice where one of the main highlights is the Wednesday union nights located in the su which is one of the best night outs of the week where there are like 3 rooms and plenty of bars. The sports park is also quite nice where many of the sports societies take place here. The gym however is quite small and gets busy quite a lot.
UoR has exceeded my original expectation since the first day. It is an amazing place to study!
Very good experience and excellent teaching.
Best uni. Lots of societies (the most in uk?). Lots of events every week, good communication on these events too. You are never lonely. Good staff, helpful.
There are friendly staff and delicious breakfast, and the daily cleaning is very good. There are often some festival activities to give us some small gifts and snacks, if there is a chance I will recommend it to my friends
The library is great and quiet for study.
Great Uni with a terrific community.
Great place to study and develop
Although this is my first year at the University of Reading, I really like this lively community. The University has provided many opportunities for academic development and career pursuit that make my uni life quite fulfilled.
The university campus is pretty with good social life
beautiful campus and green spaces. Lots of resources out there, you just need to find out how to access it.
It’s okay nothing special about it the teaching is standard
Good university campus with a range of clubs and societies and staff are very understanding and easily reachable
Good I like this place. I will recommend this place to my friends
Good facilities, great campus (very nice to walk around in spring / summer!) Not had too much experience with societies or clubs so far but there seemed to be quite a lot and were diverse too.
I am really love this place staff are lovely
Love being at Uni of Reading. I’m currently studying Chemistry and am so happy with my course and how it has been laid out.
The campus is beautiful and clean Its good for running and exercise The staff are friendly and helpful
It is a very good student apartment. The reception staff at the front desk are very patient and willing to help students solve problems. This is a very good accommodation experience in my graduate career.
Good university , Henley business school is the best in the region most likely
Marilyn carter was super helpful and kind especially when helping me sort out a stressful issue!!
Marilyn is a new member of staff. She really helped me out and is very welcoming
It would be better if Thursday food booth are not only on Thursday
Apart from my unfortunate experience at windsor hall, i love and adore university of reading. The facilities, lecturers, the campus people and ease of commute to town is priceless.
The university WiFi acts up in some places, not too strong.
Great University and accommodation with lots on offer from social events to clubs/societies
Overall my university experience has been amazing the people and the campus is amazing and has been a good experience
Pretty underrated good university
The school environment is very good, the teachers are very responsible, the teaching progress is very reasonable.

great university campus lovely facilities
Still more to figure out, only first year
Staff are friendly and make the campus feel like a second home
Nice place for student to live.
It’s a good uni and good people
Renowned for its beautiful gardens and green spaces, the University of Reading's stunning architecture and rich cultural diversity contribute to the timeless charms of the city of Reading.
Perfect sized uni meaning it's not too overwhelming (especially important when this is your first time living away from home). Campus is beautiful with lots of green space and buildings are an ideal distance apart. Very warm community with plenty of opportunities for getting involved with uni activities.
As a Real Estate student at Henley Business School, I am privileged to have state-of-the-art facilities at my disposal to experience. During the welcome week, freshers have already been encouraged to send an application as an intern at Savills! The Student Union and Clubs/Societies are easy to navigate and are welcoming; there are so many choices of clubs for everyone!
Great uni, love every minute of my time here!
Very good uni with lots of opportunities in sports and societies.
Awful university. Lecturers couldn’t care less and you are lucky if you can get on the modules that you want to do
Provides an acceptable university experience. I feel lectures could be more engaging but on the whole I am satisfied with the education level being provided
I have throughly enjoyed my time at the University, being a third year and having started in Covid, I still feel like my time here has been fulfilled. Having joining some great societies where I have made lifelong friends
As a proud student of Reading university,I can’t recommend this institution enough.The exceptional faculty,word-class resource , and vibrant campus community have provided me with an unparalleled educational experience.Reading university truly prepares its students for success and is a shining example of academic excellence.
As an international student, I'm glad I chose University of Reading for their postgraduate law program. Top-notch professors, interesting module offerings, and a great campus to work from.
University of Reading is a great place to go with a beautiful campus and wide range of sports and activities tables in. Students union are very involved the students and also provides a great night out on the weekend and Wednesdays.
In my first year I have enjoyed everything the university has to offer. It would be even better if more university services remained open over the holidays as lots of students remain here!
The best university in the UK in terms of inclusivity.
Starting in covid times with many a lockdown, the university have been nothing but supportive. With help from finding a house in 2nd and 3rd year to career help when I’ve needed it! The facilities are great, i just wish they had a pool! But other then that, everywhere is always so clean and tidy and the attention to detail is always there
