University of Reading

My classmates are kind and the university is always willing to ask questions. However, I wish that their scheduling of lectures wouldn’t result in one day taking the majority of lectures.

The UoR is such an amazing place to study. The facilities are top tier and the campus is so large to walk around in down time. When engaged with the studying, a massive library and vast assortment of different buildings all across the campus assist you. The location makes it very easy to get into Central Reading and connects to various shop roads around it. Student life from my experience seems to thrive and the Students’ Union has some engagement to integrate with.

Lecturers actually make the work being taught interesting and not too full of jargon and "academic-speak" which bog down the actual learning process. The labs are useful and help you learn well. The student union has a great cafe and a bubble tea cafe along with a very nice bagel shop. And the campus is green and always a pleasure to walk through. The only downside for me is that the there are a few places like the dairy and reading central that can be a bit of a long walk to get to. Though I understand that that isn't necessarily something the university can control and so doesn't detract from my opinion of it.

Its a very nice and atmospheremic University. Not overwhelming as well and very nice place to be. One thing I think could be is the travel fares for University commuters. The pricing especially for buses are alot to add especially if most people already pay so much for tickets anyway. The student pricung has change abd hence it would help paying a little less from it.

It just feels like a nice place to study. The university provides a variety of resources to help benefit students; there are loads of societies you can join; furthermore, it gets better the more effort you put into your studies and also participation with uni activities, etc.
