University of Reading

nearly everything is located in one campus making it easy to navigate around the uni and there are lots of opportunities to meet people

Some of the best aspects are the facilities and the location. Reading has great spots for leisure and the uni itself has great staff and organised buildings for academic needs. Some things that could be improved is study spaces. The library is the 1st place to go to study however it’s usually quite packed. Perhaps if there were more areas to study and even more areas in the uni to relax that would be great.

Very good and close sports facilities. Lots of contact hours and quality of teaching is mostly good. Beautiful campus, with green spaces a lake and bars.

Nice campus, a very social uni and overall I am enjoying my time here. I wish there were improved sports facilities; the gym is often packed, and the university could do with a 4g astro or a pool. The societies are great however, the library is nice (although usually packed as well) and park bar is class.

The best aspects of my University experience would probably be the module selection and the campus. You can make a fun and insightful degree even better by having a great selection of modules and the University of Reading provides that.
