Campus Life
- The Reading University Students Union organised most events, fests and extracurricular activities on campus. My department also planned events during the beginning of each term and also provided opportunities to connect with fellow students and faculty.
- Extracurricular events also were modelled on skill enhancement, which contributed towards CV building.
Accommodation
- I opted for a catered on-campus accommodation during my course. All prices were per person, per week, including fast WiFi, contents insurance and bills. Since my accommodation was on campus, I also had the porter facility, which meant that I could raise any concern I had and that I need not worry about security on campus.
- Most buildings that housed students were close by, which was very great in terms of interacting with other students.



Likes
- College Accommodation. I missed a lot once I came out.
- Professors who go beyond than their counterparts
- Faculties' friendly nature help students to open before them more freely
Dislikes
- Not detailed analysis. For example some of the concepts and theoretical analysis could have been dealt more comprehensive.
- Too much focus on global north scholars
- Professors sometimes will be unavailable due to holidays. But this doesn't impact one's engagement with faculty.
Campus Life
- All the facilities were provided. No shortage of anything. Notably, the meal plans for students who wish to have the university's food can also have it at a subsidized cost. There are several clubs in university and one can join as many as one wishes. Every wednesday there is a University club if one wants to get some exposure and speak about one's interests and talk to others.
- There are several opportunities but having an internship and required skills is crucial to stand out. Around 30% will easily find a job before they leave and by 6 months, a decent amount of 45-50% will end up securing a job. It takes time but surely people do get a full-time job. Students apply through graduate stream. Networking on LinkedIn. On average, the pay would be more than 25,000-30,000 GBP. Students use LinkedIn career workshop opportunities at college.
- Fairs and workshops at college held now and then help students to get connections. Besides that, department talks and events also help in this regard. Networking worked quite well for students. One can also access the college career advice team, and work on the CV. refinement and also give mock interviews.

Likes
- Green Campus. There is forest inside the campus which I really liked.
- Helpful nature of teachers.
- Responsive University staff.
Dislikes
- It's about the UK in general that the weather gets quite terrible many times.Too windy, and rains a lot.
- Libraries were closed during the vacation which I didn't like.
- . There was no Alumni meet for our department.
Campus Life
- There are library, sports facilities, gym and parks inside campus. My university has three campus. I was in Whiteknights campus. The other two are London road campus and Greenland campus.
- There is a student union building inside Whiteknights campus which has bar pool table and dance floor. So a lot of events happen on different days of the week.
Accommodation
- I stayed in University accommodation. They are generally more costly than private accommodation. But as I got a scholarship so it was easier for me to get it. Plus it is inside the campus itself so daily commuting was easy for me. There are a lot of groups on Facebook where students share information about availability of rooms. So that's definitely worth checking out.
- My monthly rent was 800 pounds. But if you go to a private accommodation then you can get cheaper options like ,400 or 500 pounds a month.
- With university accommodation there is an added advantage of safety. That's why I considered it.

Campus Life
- 2 Campus- Whiteknight campus and London Road Campus.I studied at white night campus and my graduation ceremony was in London Road campus.
- There is 8 storey library, every building has a study area, restaurants, cafeteria, study areas, event building, office building, medical college, etc.
- The major festivals in University are during the new students come in that is welcome week and graduation week, although something or the other is continuously going in university.
- There are lot of communities and activities but being a master student it is difficult to be a part of them.
Accommodation
- I was staying in ensuite room with shared kitchen for 8 people in Sheffield Hall(University accommodation) I applied through university accommodation site and had asked me and my friend to be together and we did get it together.
- I paid 720 pounds/month and all the bills were included. We had well equipped kitchen with toaster, induction, water boiler, microwave, fridge and oven. Also, the kitchen was cleaned every week and the bins were cleared thrice in every week.
- Some of the appliances were old and needed to be replaced. So we had to create ticket for the same
- It was 10 min walk from the university, but there were other accommodations which were nearer but were costly.


Accommodation
Ensuite bedroom, flat system, common kitchen, food included, rent is £200/week (very costly because of food) don’t take a food package, cook yourself.
Close to London which is the financial capital of England, the Course was being offered for more than 20+ years, a Reputable university.
Accommodation
My accommodation facility abroad was very challenging to attain as the university was not organized and I had experienced a great deal of difficulty to be able to receive on campus accommodation through the accommodations department at the university.
Aspects that drove me to accepting the offer of admission was the central location of the university. I also was drawn to the fact that the university was strong and well known for the LLB Law program I was attending.
I feel very strongly and the conservation of animals, especially marine animals. There is a growing problem with plastic pollution and it needs to stop, we are killing our oceans FAST. I joined this course so that I am able to help in many ways other can't and hopefully save the planet.
Great campus people are really supportive and helpful. Really willing to help you settle and support you throughout the process. This university seems to really value and support its students.
Excellent course, less pretentious feel than other universities, friendly community. Nice campus, felt at home. Good research reputation. Overall, the best fit for me, compared with other universities offering similar courses
