All of the University of Reading's student accommodation is located either on the main Whiteknights campus or close by. It provides you with a safe and secure place to live while you study.
We offer a wide variety of different room types across our halls. We also have a limited number of self-contained flats which are suitable for couples, families and mature students.
Rooms in our halls of residence are ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Some are grouped into flat-style arrangements with shared kitchen and dining areas, while others offer a more traditional halls experience with some or all meals included in the price.
