PhD in Psycholinguistics

University of Reading

Pros: The Whiteknights campus is very green and beautiful, the best I've seen regarding this theme. There are lots of facilities such as a big library, cafés, gym, sport pitches (football, tennis, rugby, etc). Many societies about different topics and hobbies to socialize with people who share your interests. This uni has made a noticeable effort against discrimination, open to everyone no matter sex, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Cons: Obviously not the majority, but I've come across with some lecturers that seem to not put too much effort on their classes (lectures consisting in reading slides). Sometimes it doesn't feel worth to attend a lecture but study the content by yourself. Student support is OK, could be better. I've used it and they tend to answer in around 1 day, however sometimes it can take considerably longer and that ends up in nothing clear.
