The campus at the University of Reading is very beautiful! On a sunny day it is definitely worth the walk by the lake or seeing the campus cat. In my course, the teachers have been massively helpful and accommodating (if you’re new to the area). STaR mentors are 2nd/3rd year students who aid you in the transition from high school to 1st year at university and you can ask them about anything from making friends to questions about your course and studying. The only partially negative I would have to mention is the distance from the main campus to the Agriculture Building and that it is quite challenging to find if you’re going there for the first time. However, the big map board on campus can make it easier for you.
