The academic environment at the university is the best. The worst part is only that it's far away from the city centre.

The academic environment is the best: top academics and researchers.

The hall is very close to university campus. However, the hall is full of undergraduate students too that tend to be noisier

UoR offers the best lecturers to conduct modules in the field that they are experienced in, and they also give industry professionals an opportunity to come in and give some lectures. The school's campus is located in a very serene environment where you can easily take a walk and immerse yourself in nature if you are feeling a little stressed out. Reading is an amiable, calm city. It is very homely and that's what I love about it. However, I feel there could be an improvement in terms of inclusion and diversity considering that this is an international university. The course content should also be broad and consider how other continents practice in that field, the food in canteens should have a reflection on international diversity, the same applies to the grocery store, it should include other products for those students coming from other continents (especially the minority groups).

The course is provided in a very intense lecture week, which can be draining for most students. Hybrid learning should be adopted to give students time to rest instead of rushing to school for a lecture everyday. The lectures are very approachable and accessible.

Allocation is to the most expensive halls first. The halls are overly priced with cleaning only done once a week for a flat of 10 people. The WIFI is not stable, especially when connecting in the kitchen. The control of the heating system can be unfair for those who still find some temperatures "cold" and the hall's procedure is to regulate and switch off the heating when a specific temperature has been reached.
