The 30 Best College university in Reading

“A gorgeous complex. The central square is a world away from the bustling city outside. The chapel is amazing.....the artwork behind the altar is one of a kind. Breathtaking.”

“My husband and I had a lovely time at the rings and dragons event. It was beautifully lit and in a lovely venue with lots of parking available. The pieces were well picked and very well played. Really recommend for a relaxing evening out!”

“I recently completed my IT certification exams here, and couldn't ask for anything more. The college is very accessible, has a pleasant atmosphere with helpful staff, and provided a seamless and stress-free experience throughout. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take their exams in-person.”

“Founded in 1249 by William of Durham, University College (or Collegium Magnae Aulae Universitatis, as its Latin name states) is one of the oldest colleges in the University of Oxford. Next to the marvellous sandstone quadrangles, beautifully maintained and always adorned by splendid floral arrangements, Univ (as it is known amongst Oxonians) features a marble memorial to the poet Percy Shelly, a former student of the college banned for his heretical writings. Many of the treasures, such as a tiny door in the 90 High St building which may well have been an inspiration for a similar door in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, are not usually accessible to the general public, since Univ does not regularly admit visitors. If asked politely, the porters will usually allow visitors to see the Shelley Memorial, and even the magnificent chapel with its stained glass windows.”

“Excellent University of Oxford for an annual law conference to update my legal knowledge and a really clean and tidy study bedroom with excellent views from your window and access to the City centre only a short walk away. Really pleased to have networked at an annual law conference and made all new contacts and interested buyers of my new first book Parachuting in the name of Charity released soon with Olympia Publishers in London available on Amazon when available.”

“Has got to be one of the most beautiful colleges in Oxford. Phenomenal architecture.”

“Unbelievable, life changing, relaxing treatments! I cannot praise enough. Every session has been proffessional and revitalizing. Never rule out acupuncture where other’s treatments for your body have failed.”

“Beautiful setting. Fit for purpose, World Adventurer Day. It needs some serious funds to modernise or even give a face lift to our Adventist treasure that gives so much. Well maintained grounds and buildings. The time has come for us to give back.”

“Best tennis courts ever seen! The closed courts are just spectacular!”

“I usually get a level 3 student to cut my hair who always does a good job very professional and always supervised. I would definitely recommend to anyone they would get a good hair cut at a reduced cost to the High Street and also help with training”

“Absolutely amazing uni!! I had a great time from 2021-2024. I am now beginning a masters at LSE in Economics in sep!!! I’m ecstatic! I had the best 3 years at Brooke’s and will never forget my brilliant university experience!! Also (ps) I would highly recommend, if your reading these 400+ reviews, that you check the profile of who’s posting them… I’ve just clicked on a profile of an account who has never given anything above 1 Star out of their 143 Google reviews!! - (it’s an unreliable review) but anyway… Brooke’s was great and I hope anyone reading this and joining Brooke’s has an amazing time just as I did!!”

“The University of Reading’s London Road Campus will always hold a very special place in my heart. As my alma mater, I feel truly proud to have studied here. The campus itself is steeped in history and character, with a unique charm that makes it stand out from more modern university sites. The atmosphere is inspiring and serene, and it creates the perfect environment for both study and reflection. One of the most memorable experiences for me was having my graduation ceremony in the beautiful Great Hall — a truly historic and meaningful venue that adds to the sense of tradition and achievement. Beyond the campus, Reading as a city has been a wonderful place to live. Over the course of seven years, I found it welcoming, supportive, and full of opportunities. Both the city and the university gave me invaluable experiences, knowledge, and personal growth that I will always cherish. I am grateful for everything I gained during my time here and would wholeheartedly recommend the University of Reading to anyone seeking not only academic excellence but also a place that leaves a lasting impact on your life.”

“University of Reading, UK, is a prestigious institution known for its strong emphasis on research and innovative teaching methods. It has a beautiful campus with state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant student community. Renowned for its diverse range of programs, it offers a supportive environment for both academic and personal growth.”

“Lots of green areas, fresh air, beautiful paths to enjoy”

“I would say that Pangbourne is a wonderful, supportive School that creates amazing opportunities for its pupils and encourages them to reach their own personal goals in a nurturing, team spirited environment. We have a girl in the sixth form and a boy who has just joined and both are blossoming and flourishing each day. Their confidence in themselves and with others has grown and they are excelling academically and in extra curricular activities. Best decision we have made.”

“A good place to study if you want an all experience of multi cultures and good peeps from all walks of life. :D Extremism and bullying is a non-no here so if you are a shy and quiet type , its a perfect place to study in peace with no stress. I studied there too.”

“Assessment for Counselling Skills Level 2 was excellent and run by Debbie Nightingale. Very informative and interesting. All in all a positive experience.”

“So amazing everyone's is super nice and no one is judgy. Even in covid-19 times they're still fabulous”

“Our son is loving the afternoon group at Reading West - he's met such a lovely group of children of a range of ages. Older children who can inspire and motivate him, others of the same secondary school age who he can relate to and connect with and younger children who he likes to support. Each week he returns full of smiles and enthusiasm about the drama activities they have covered and he loves working towards a performance or showcase every term. Yasmin and her team make this fun, supportive and a brilliant opportunity for anyone interested in any aspect of drama to learn while having a great time.”

“Read college have given me the skills set to get into drama school. I have had the best year of learning new dance styles and gaining confidence with my singing.”

“I think that Perform is a positive group. The teachers are exceedingly encouraging about our dancing, singing and acting. This is why I chose this drama group over all the others. Personally, I would recommend this group to anyone who's interested. (Ruby 9)”

“Jamie always comes out smiling and tells us very loudly how much fun he's had. This is perfect for our son and Charlotte is not only really engaging for him for she's such a positive and dedicated teacher which I think reflects on the children.”

“Wonderful performing arts classes. I highly recommend Stagecoach as it has boosted my children's confidence and social skills”

“Agoonoree Camping here again July 2017”

“I can absolutely recommend this university. The way you are treated is great. Furthermore, you learn the really important things in a reasonable amount of time and are very well prepared later on. Greetings from Germany”

“Great university to study, very supportive from all staff and lecturers who really do care and want the best for all students to achieve their best results. Although online, have made some great friends and contacts and there are great opportunities to volunteer across the university in a variety of different roles for students.”
