University of Reading

The University of Reading is a great place to study because of the number of facilities available. Such as the library, study rooms, social spots and places to eat! I primarily work at the Institute of Education on London Road Campus and the facilities there really help me especially during placement. For example, the Learning Hub allows me to loan items for free to use on placement, which is especially useful when school's do not have access to them. I also enjoy the community feel of the university; the number of societies to join, clubs and activities are endless. Most of my friends I have made are through these clubs and societies. Improvement wise there is only one thing I can think of and that is opening up more rooms to socialise in during lecture breaks at London Road. The common room is amazing however sometimes it can get a bit busy. Overall, I love studying at the University of Reading!!

Best : •My course is interesting •Trying out different societies is fun • I work at RUSU which I fun and you get paid obviously Worst: •If you’re unorganised work can pile up quickly

I believe that better staff vetting should be employed, as there have been incidents where staff have not behaved professionally or in a safe manner

Everyone at the university is so warm and welcoming, from the students to the staff. It really makes me enjoy my time at university. The campus is also so beautiful. It is so green and filled with nature.

Location and environment gives a real community vibe and feel to reading. Especially love the lake makes it look so pretty! Would be slightly better if it was easier to get into central reading like students ride free but otherwise great!
