Accommodation Recommendations for Exchange Students
Hi everyone! I’m heading to Reading for a year-long exchange and I’m looking for off-campus housing options. I don’t necessarily need a studio flat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Here are some recommendations for off-campus accommodations in Reading:
Shared Houses: Look for shared houses or flats. Websites like SpareRoom and Zoopla often have listings where you can find rooms in shared accommodations with other students, which can be a great way to meet people.
Student Accommodation Providers: Check out purpose-built student accommodations like Unite Students or Student.com. They often have options ranging from single rooms in shared flats to studios.
Local Areas: Consider areas like Redlands, Earley, or Caversham. They have good transport links to the university and are popular among students.
Social Media Groups: Join Facebook groups for students in Reading. Many students list spare rooms or sublets there, which can provide flexible options.
University Resources: Don’t forget to check with your university’s accommodation office. They sometimes have partnerships and can offer guidance on finding reliable housing.
Transport Links: Make sure to choose a location that has good transport links to the university and amenities, especially if you’re not planning to have a car.
Good luck with your search, and enjoy your time in Reading!
