In terms of student support, I’d say having access to the support is very easy. However, the support you receive doesn’t necessarily meet the standard you would want it to especially if you’re going through a hard time. In terms of socialising it’s definitely something you have to build on yourself because there aren’t many opportunities for you to mix with people such as your flatmates or other people in your accommodation at the start of your stay and so it does leave you to have to put in a lot more effort. The education and support in general education that you receive is I would say very good and the educators are very open to your own situation. In terms of societies, they are very accessible via the app , however it feels very closed off in terms of joining and very often it will be hard to get in taster sessions and get a good feel for a society before having to pay the fee to join, which is the main reason why I haven’t joined One , so I don’t have much to say overall about the societies. Student union seems to work well but I personally haven’t had much contact with them or had much to do with them. Overall, I would say Reading is a very good university to be out especially in terms of the education you will receive and its proximity to various locations such as London and Oxford, and a myriad of other places makes it a very convenient place to live.

In art, there is definitely an amazing amount of contact between teachers and students and there is always a lot of room to really let your own thoughts and ideas be expressed and you are very much listened to and appreciated by your tutors and it feels very friendly. In philosophy, there is a bit more distance between tutors and students Purely due to the layout of the course, but this does not impact the quality of the teaching you receive.

The best thing about my whole is probably the fact I’m in quiet residency so I’m able to really have my own space to focus and recharge one issue I do have with Halls is that often times maintenance can be a bit slow or not fully resolve an issue. This hasn’t personally been something I’ve experienced but I have seen a lot of my friends and flatmates get lacklustre solutions from the maintenance they receive

The best in UoR is people. The staff is very student friendly and supportive and there are a huge comfortable library and peaceful nature on the campus.

Our professors are always ready to help us and the facilities are good enough.
