Deep in the heart of commuter-ville lies Reading with its less-than-lovely town centre. Thankfully the main University campus is two miles away, surrounded by pretty parkland ... more detail A much smaller campus at Bulmershe Court and three museums are also attached to the Uni. Campus life is a little isolated from town but nobody seems to mind that much.

Courses are flexible in the first year and tend to have a strong coursework element ... more on academic SU facilities are not to be sniffed at and the exec team lay on a thick spread of ents ... more on the SU Volunteering‘s also popular, with community work counting for degree credit.

Woohoo: Crammed social calendar
Boohoo: Reading town got hit by the ugly stick
