the library, it’s so spacious and various places to study and chill
Lots of study spaces at accommodation. Improved by more study spaces on campus

Library isn't big enough
The people here are very friendly and would help you with anything you need help with. The surroundings here in Reading is very chill and 'vibe and I love it
It is very far from my house. There could me more social spots for students The lecturers are nice
The people are very welcoming as soon as you enrol on the first day. The support system is also amazing as teachers are always willing to support.
The best experiences of reading at university often include engaging discussions in seminars, exploring diverse perspectives, and the opportunity to delve deep into subjects that genuinely interest you. Additionally, the chance to interact with knowledgeable professors and the wealth of resources available in a university library contribute to a rich academic experience.

Great uni!
Best: modules and teachers
Great community and modules with amazing teachers
The best part is the lecture rooms but the older ones lack helpful tools such as easy to access plugs. The bad part is especially recently there aren't may places to sit down and revise in the day in between classes. The library is big but not big enough and one of the alternatives has been closed for work but a suitable alternative has not been given.


University of Reading is quite an inclusive university and has taken a lot of initiatives to improve student life in terms of studies, social life and mental wellbeing.
