Im fairly content with how the university of Reading works. Also, the facilities are useful for the purpose that it serves.
Nice quiet environment to study
The classics department and staff are amazing, great quality of teaching and learning. The library and other facilities are great, I especially like that there is a range of study spaces to choose from. The student support services are great, as a disabled student I have received a wealth of support.
Absolutely appalling. I've been excluded for calling a peer (and friend, or so I thought) on my degree an 'offensive' name, and am now in the process of going through the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education.

Great support from staff and lovely campus
I love this university because the campus is welcoming
Best aspect is the student life and campus: a very nice feel and vibe from RUSU and you feel like you’re at uni. And you actually get a say in student services. Worst part is probably how big the campus is and distances from student housing to the uni
The location is gorgeous and all of the staff are so friendly and understanding. I love the course content and there is always the option to get help whenever you need it. The only downside is the as things are far apart it can be hard to get to the next lecture on time. A uni shuttle bus service would be amazing
The support received is a well provided and easy to access. The campus however does not have the feel that I wanted it to have, for example the buildings aren’t as aesthetically pleasing. However, the standard of teaching is great.
I think the facilities of the campus and student union are great - there’s always things to do and ways to meet people. The worst thing about this university is the support you get from all members of staff. All support will take you months to receive, there is no sense of urgency. It feels very disorganised.
the support is good when it comes to changing modules/courses, lecturers/seminar leaders are good at keeping up with students
Practical classes and an increased amount of independence have been a highlight. However, there is a large amount of material to learn and keeping on top of revision is challenging.

Best - working places like the library Improvement - reduce time in between sessions
It has amazing facilities and resources that are readily available for students to assist them in their learning.
Best part is the academic side! Worst part is how expensive Reading is
Reading university is an amazing place to study. However, I believe that some improvements can be made. I play a sport at uni, most of the time we play and train but if we had a 4G field that would help all teams on campus.
