very happy with my university choice
nice working environment and I would recommend it to others
its been a blessing to have lived here
Reading is lovely to live in
I just love the whole experience
it's pretty awesome and would recommend it to everyone
The university is a friendly environment to be in and has a good community feel to the campus.
Pretty good.
I love it. I have made friends for life. It feels like home here. The accommodation can be expensive, but was very homey and near campus which was good. The staff are helpful and have high availability which is good. The union is really good, it has cheap drinks and offers a lot of activities. The support availale is well advertised on campus. I think I have a high chance of getting a job after graduating as the UG job success rate is over 80%.
It's been great so far studying here. The absolute best aspect of the course is learning about dispensing which is really interesting to me. The accommodation is very disappointing, it keeps increasing and leaves you with nothing. I think my job prospects will really depend on experience when it comes to it, otherwise I have a pretty average chance...
Reading has been an enjoyable experience with good lecturers. The course is very interesting and we are given a lot of options. I am a member of a couple of societies at the uni, such as the Feminist Society. I think my course is going to make it quite difficult to get a job upon graduation. There are some support services available, I have used the personal tutors before.
I am very disappointed with my experience of Reading. When it comes to the course, I would give it one star as it is awful, but the lecturers that teach it deserve 4 stars and so it evens out a little. The accommodation is good, UPP terrible, and terrible value for money. Reading isn't very cultured at all and so I don't really like to study here. I really wish you didn't have to pay to join the clubs and societies on offer as they seem fine. Apart from careers support there is NOTHING available. Very bad. Do not recommend to ANYONE.
Living in Reading could be better. There are too many clubs in the town and not enough cultural things like theatre, concerts etc. The course I'm on is interesting anf takes various directions. The services for support for students need more advertising as I am not aware of what's on offer. The union are engaging and get involved. When it comes to the accommodation, they are expensive, but social.
I love it here. I am having the best time ever. The course gives your travelling opportunities and is flexible. The accommodation whilst good is expensive! Reading isn't too big, and isn't very city-ish which is nice! There needs to be more study space, but there is plenty of student support if you look for it.
I'm really loving it here. Our course is great, we get to go to see plays in London and we have playwrights who come in to talk at the uni. The support provided is really helpful and the study advice is helpful too. I think the field I've chosen is hard, but with a really good degree it won't be that hard. The accommodation is good, but I think the application for it could be easier for returning students. I really love the fact that Reading is a small town.
It's a really good university, I would strongly recommend it to anyone. I have gained great clinical knowledge from the course and the lecturers teaching it, but I would say that the university needs more books. There's a variety of support services available, and the union itself is pretty good too. There's also a lot of nature surrounding the university which is really nice.
I like my university, but wish the clubs in town were a little better. The course that I'm taking offers a lot of contact time and support which is really useful as a student and whilst most of the facilities are quite modern, they could referbish some of the old lecture theatres. The union isn't great and should be offering more varied and themed events.
The University of Reading has provided me with a fantastic experience both educationally and socially. The campus is huge and absolutely beautiful. Its natural beauty is breathtaking in all seasons. There is a great range of courses and many joint options that other universities don't provide. The night life and city life will keep you on your feet and campus life has something to offer every day of the week.
