I think life in Reading Uni is pretty cool. There are lots of things to do and plenty of places to go out. The classes are great and the teachers are really, really nice. What might need improving is the closing time of the Union - it should stay open until 4am.

I'm having a great time at Reading. The accommodation is really good and I found it easy to settle in when I first got here. I'd advise people to pick something they really like and also take up a hobby with one of the clubs on offer.

Great uni, shame that my degree only takes up six hours per week so sometimes it feels like a waste of money. I'm looking forward to graduating. I'd recommend picking a course with lots of contact hours as mine doesn't have enough.

Reading is an excellent university. There is fantastic support from lecturers and an excellent opportunity to gain lots of skills in preparation for the world of work. Great facilities. My advice is to make the most of your time at uni - join clubs, lots of nights out and work hard!

Reading is a great university. This is opinion is based entirely on my course and lecturers. The whole point of coming to university is to get a degree and that is why I am concentrating as best I can on getting this without the other distractions that others forget about.

I would recommend Reading for anyone who wanted to go to University. The Students' Union is the best part of the university with great nights out on a Wednesday and Saturday. Park Bar is really good too and you go for a drink with your mates after lectures.

Reading is a good university with fantastic facilities, especially in the more modern buildings and library. It is a nice uni to go to with a good amount of support from lecturers, teaching staff and personal tutors.

Please, please, please make sure you join a society. I didn't join one straight away but as soon as I did I've been having loads of fun. Eye candy isn't the best in Reading unless you happen to be on a night out with the rugby boys…

Before you get to Reading make sure you save as much money as possible! You should also join a society as it is a great way to make friends and have a great time. I joined rugby and it has been ridiculously fun.

As an international student I have been amazed at how good Reading is. I hadn't really heard of it before my tutor suggested I apply. I would advise more people to find out about Reading because the campus is very beautiful and I'm enjoying my life here.
