Student Accommodation
Reading
Reading has firmly established itself as a top student city, offering a perfect blend of academic excellence and a high-quality lifestyle. As home to the prestigious University of Reading, the town attracts thousands of students each year who are looking for a balanced environment to live and study. Choosing the right base is essential for your university experience, as it impacts everything from your daily routine to your social life. While traditional student areas like Earley and Whitley are common choices for those seeking private housing, our properties are strategically positioned to offer a more central and efficient alternative. By staying closer to the heart of the town or within immediate reach of the main campuses, you can significantly reduce your daily travel time and focus on what matters most.
Opting for purpose-built student accommodation provides a level of predictability that the private rental market often lacks. A major advantage of our service is that you will have all utility bills included*. This covers your core utilities, typically including water, electricity, heating, and high-speed Wi-Fi, allowing you to manage your budget with total certainty. In contrast, students opting for HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) in residential districts often face the stress of spiralling utility costs and rising price caps. With us, there are no surprise charges, meaning you can enjoy your time in Reading without worrying about the logistics of multiple monthly payments.
The transition to university is also a significant step toward independence, and where you live plays a vital role in that journey. For those considering living at home, moving into dedicated student housing offers a much deeper level of campus immersion. You avoid the draining daily commutes that can often sap your energy before a morning lecture even begins. Instead, you gain the freedom to build your own schedule, engage with your peers at any hour, and truly settle into the local culture. Our locations are designed to keep you connected to the academic hubs and the vibrant town centre, ensuring you spend less time on a bus and more time experiencing everything the University of Reading has to offer.
We prioritise a secure environment so that students can focus on their studies and parents can have total peace of mind. Our buildings feature onsite teams, comprehensive CCTV coverage, and secure key fob entry systems to ensure only residents and authorised guests have access. We also provide a dedicated parcel collection service, meaning you never have to worry about missing an important delivery while you are in lectures. Unlike some private renting options where maintenance can be a slow process, our professional management includes responsive onsite teams who aim to handle any repairs or issues quickly and efficiently.
Living with us means being part of a thriving community from the moment you arrive. While private HMOs can sometimes feel isolated if you are not already moving in with a large group of friends, our buildings are specifically designed to foster connections. We host regular social events and provide superior on-site amenities, including modern gyms, dedicated study rooms, and communal lounges for relaxing. To make life even easier, our residents use KLIQ, our dedicated app. Through KLIQ, you can effortlessly book social spaces, log maintenance requests, and receive instant notifications when your parcels arrive.
Reading is a wonderfully diverse town, and we take pride in offering a warm welcome to international students from across the globe. We understand that moving to a new country involves a lot of logistics, so our teams are here to help you settle in and navigate your new surroundings. Our inclusive community and shared social spaces are designed to help you build a global network of friends quickly. By participating in our diverse range of events, international students can easily combat isolation and find a supportive home away from home while studying at the University of Reading.
