Reading has brilliant and convenient transport links to London, so combines this with the energy of a large university town. It is home to around 27,000 students and offers a busy student atmosphere. Alongside this, it also holds a strong local identity which is shaped through history, culture and a thriving business community.
For students who are after plenty of options beyond their university campus, Reading is particularly popular. There are a lot of options for accommodation, including popular areas such as Redlands, Caversham and Tilehurst. As well as this, the town center has a range of things to do, including cafes, shopping, restaurants, nightlife and beautiful green spaces.
The Oracle Riverside is a popular destination for students as it provides them with food and socialising areas, whereas other attractions such as Reading Abbey Ruins, Forbury Gardens and the Museum of English Rural Life offer a glimpse into the town’s history and culture. This all helps to shape student life, and extends it far beyond lectures. Not only this, but students can also enjoy walks along the Thames Path, explore independent cafes, or spend time discovering local arts and cultural venues.
Reading’s biggest strength is its location, as it is only a 25-30 minute train journey from London. This makes it super popular as it provides easy access to internship, placement and graduate opportunities, and major transport links while still benefitting from a more affordable place to live.
Reading is the perfect town if you are seeking strong career prospects, a diverse community and a busy social scene. The town has plenty to offer.
