Facilities on campus were all easily accessible, especially considering the majority of learning all takes place on one campus. Regular events are held every week by the student Union, ranging from information fairs to club nights, all great fun.
I love how green and spacious the campus is
The sports grounds haven’t got much , and make you pay a fee on top of sports society fees for what they do have
Campus is well equipped with shops, halls, many things to do like cafes and so much green space
The perfect place to build the future with various socials and career opportunities. All staff are friendly and always happy to help.
Our university is really amazing
It has been a great experience.
could do with a few more societies.
Have had a great experience so far, lots of things going on on campus in the union and other areas of campus if the union ones aren’t for you!
Great sports facilities, for both Indoor and outdoor sports. With lots of greenery making the campus very scenic.
Nice big green campus university.
amazing events they put on always something on and campus is amazing with such provided for breaks between lectures
my only comparison is my universities in Indonesia, and Reading clubs by far is top tier.
Best year of my life, participating in wonderful activities and meeting some many wo derful people.
As a new student I was able to fit in perfectly
All round good campus with good location. Very good bus route straight into town
The university has many great facilities.
Campus was good, some things are further away, specfically the law building from Benyon but it was something i got used to. Library is really nice just wished they had meeting rooms we could properly rent out for an individual but they do have ones for groups. Drinks at campus cafes are reasonable and theres a coop on campus.
Great place and very nice people
Everything about UoR is top notch, from the facilities to the Internet and IT personnel to the student union and career services, they are all the best.
Uni was fairly helpful when I needed to get a placement as part of my 2nd year. Clubs are fine, though a lot are sports based, and there's not that much variety when it comes to the ones where you sit around and talk about hobbies/interests.
Very nice campus, I like how a lot of the accommodations are close together.
Good, nice uni with lots of social spaces
I've loved all the services on campus and feel like theres always something on or to do to suit everyone. The freshers events give a great overview of the year ahead and I've found that myself and all my friends have been able to get involved with some sort of society or event on campus that they love.
The wifi would always take awhile to connect but the student union has a range of stuff going on all the time and there are often careers fairs which is good
Great facilities and great support available.
Campus is beautiful and filled with nature and greenery. Nice and enclosed and very safe. Nicely built. There could’ve been more events done by the SU that does not involve alcohol and Internet was very laggy and would go off at times but fine for the most part.
Pretty green campus with lots of wildlife. Only ugly building is behind Minghella Studios idk what that's about. Also really fun societies and fun nights out.
good services provided for my first year
University of reading has everything I need, the facilities are great, there’s always things to do, a lot of diverse societies, and academically, there’s plenty of resources and help. There’s always career advice and opportunities, and all in all you couldn’t ask for much more. My one criticism is student union which is usually flat and not exciting.
Good wifi on-site, honestly tried societies but not for me quite expensive and cliquey. SU was ok but music at union nights wasn’t rly that good and it was a lot of the same songs every week which was quite boring. in first term they did like an artic monkeys night with music from them and that kinda vibe and it was amazing. Careers team is so good i already found my 70 hrs placement so fast.
Amazing university! Personally love it especially as an international student :)
As described. Lots of suitable study spaces on campus and nice refreshing green walks. Lovely welcoming chaplaincy to relax there
great campus with plenty to explore. good facilities and good bars
Great range of societies to join, great sports facilities like football pitches and basketball courts. Great library very big, spacious and the quiet areas are nice to study in.
Very green, the river and woods are so nice to go through
Really good campus with lots of facilities on the London road campus in particular
The university of Reading campus is gorgeous, safe, and an incredible place to live and study. My first year here as an international student has been nothing short of perfect.
Academic facilities are great, but Sports Park leaves some things to be desired. In terms of sports infrastructure most needs are fulfilled, but it would be nice to see a pool added to the facilities, mainly for swimming society to cut costs on external pool rentals.
A nice university with a beautiful campus!
Very green campus, good sports societies.
It’s great and students could easily get resources and support from their academic tutors
A lovely campus with great green spaces, but there could be more areas for socialising
I really enjoyed my sports society in second year but not much in my first, it really depends on the years committee
Love the WiFi!!! And there are so many clubs
The university campus is absolutely gorgeous and green, so far I’ve enjoyed my decision of choosing to study here and the events around and out of campus encourage me to socialize and create relationships that will hopefully last.
Jane is amazing, love Wednesday union!!!
Amazing uni, great facilities and societies
Very good university, good experience as an international student.
I am happy with the facilities and societies on campus. I like how there are many places to chose from and that the cuisine caters many all dietary requirements. I just wish there were slightly more options for those with these requirements, especially if you have multiple.
overall excellent. Union, park bar and lecture rooms in close proximity
The University of Reading became more than just a place of study—it was where I found myself, where I truly came alive. Walking through its campus, I wasn’t just surrounded by books and lectures, but by the faces of friends who’d become like family. In every conversation, every late-night chat, I felt more grounded, more in tune with who I was meant to be. The energy of the place, the buzz in the air, pushed me to explore parts of myself I hadn’t yet met. It wasn’t just about learning from textbooks—it was about learning from life, and from the people who walked alongside me in those years
There is a wide range of societies to join, everything you could need is on campus and the student union is very big and has a range of rooms
University is great with lots of facilities and support available!!!
Great careers service, really happy with the advice provided.
Friendly staff on campus and amazing library facilities.
Great campus! Big but easy to get to everything
One of the best and greenest campuses there is in the uk can’t complain about it. Some buildings in the campus still have old structures and would be nice to see them get modernised. Reading student union is the best out there, a year full of fun
There’s an issue of conveying our difficulties to the staffs that may be related to several departments. Although they have directed us to the person, we have to reiterate what happened again and again until the we meet the right person that could solve the problems.
Friendly staff and lecturer, nice view
Great services and helpful university staff
Campus is lovely and green although I wish there was better sports facilities
wifi lacking in some areas across campus, careers are very helpful with issues but do not assist that much in placements - none of me or my coursemates were able to secure a placement but I suppose this is because computer science is very competitive
There are an amazing number of campus events and societies which have made my university experience memorable. However, the wifi is sometimes poor in the palmer building. Also, space in the library is limited and the cooperative food shop on campus is overpriced.
My first year was amazing and I really loved the uni life. I’m onto my second year now and can’t wait to dive into more university fun and attaining my degree by the end of the 3 years!!
My course was great, staff were clear and concise.
It’s been a good first year. The teachers and staff have been helpful during this period. However, the tables in the lecture halls of Henley Business School should be made with extra space, as it’s been quite cramp with a laptop on.
Good area with lots of green, a few eating/drinking places on campus
Reading campus is really nice with lots of green space and lots to do
The campus careers service I haven't personally used, I had trouble with the WiFi especially on mobile. Other than those the campus is a lovely place, clean spacious and plenty of eats and shops exactly what you need for a campus
Students union is great with many events and markets for fresh fruit and veg. Library is huge and quite new so good for studying
Overall there are facilities for different type of situations and they are quite useful and very understanding like the DAS team
I had overall awesome experience with home at halls and have attended almost all of their events at park group
The uni is good, needs better accommodation to match the standard of the campus
great SU and events, especially wednesday union on campus
A great place to study with very good facilities and people.
Campus is really nice and spacious. Convenient that there is a coop in it which is close to the park accommodations (stenton mackinder Childs Windsor). Library is also pretty good where it is modern. The student union is also nice where one of the main highlights is the Wednesday union nights located in the su which is one of the best night outs of the week where there are like 3 rooms and plenty of bars. The sports park is also quite nice where many of the sports societies take place here. The gym however is quite small and gets busy quite a lot.
UoR has exceeded my original expectation since the first day. It is an amazing place to study!
Very good experience and excellent teaching.
Best uni. Lots of societies (the most in uk?). Lots of events every week, good communication on these events too. You are never lonely. Good staff, helpful.
There are friendly staff and delicious breakfast, and the daily cleaning is very good. There are often some festival activities to give us some small gifts and snacks, if there is a chance I will recommend it to my friends
The library is great and quiet for study.
Great Uni with a terrific community.
Great place to study and develop
Although this is my first year at the University of Reading, I really like this lively community. The University has provided many opportunities for academic development and career pursuit that make my uni life quite fulfilled.
The university campus is pretty with good social life
beautiful campus and green spaces. Lots of resources out there, you just need to find out how to access it.
It’s okay nothing special about it the teaching is standard
Good university campus with a range of clubs and societies and staff are very understanding and easily reachable
Good I like this place. I will recommend this place to my friends
Good facilities, great campus (very nice to walk around in spring / summer!) Not had too much experience with societies or clubs so far but there seemed to be quite a lot and were diverse too.
I am really love this place staff are lovely
Love being at Uni of Reading. I’m currently studying Chemistry and am so happy with my course and how it has been laid out.
The campus is beautiful and clean Its good for running and exercise The staff are friendly and helpful
It is a very good student apartment. The reception staff at the front desk are very patient and willing to help students solve problems. This is a very good accommodation experience in my graduate career.
Good university , Henley business school is the best in the region most likely
Marilyn carter was super helpful and kind especially when helping me sort out a stressful issue!!
Marilyn is a new member of staff. She really helped me out and is very welcoming
It would be better if Thursday food booth are not only on Thursday
Apart from my unfortunate experience at windsor hall, i love and adore university of reading. The facilities, lecturers, the campus people and ease of commute to town is priceless.
