Student Accommodation in Earley

Student housing in Earley, Reading

Earley is the quieter option east of Reading, and it suits students who want a proper house and a calm street to come home to. The Earley Gate entrance to the University of Reading sits right on the edge of the area, so student housing in Earley gets you close to campus without paying town-centre rents. It's a sizeable suburb of around 30,000 people, with Lower Earley making up much of it.

What's around Earley

Maiden Erlegh Lake is the local highlight, a 10.2 hectare nature reserve that's a genuinely nice place to walk or run between lectures. For shopping, the Asda Supercentre on Chalfont Way in Lower Earley covers the big weekly shop, and there are smaller parades dotted around for the day-to-day. It's more residential than lively, so the trade-off is space and quiet over bars on your doorstep, with the town centre a short trip away when you want it.

Getting around

The Earley Gate entrance puts the Whiteknights campus within walking or cycling distance for a lot of Earley addresses, which is the main draw. Earley railway station sits on the Reading to London Waterloo line run by South Western Railway, handy for trips further afield, though it's a fair walk from Lower Earley itself. Frequent buses link the area to the campus and into central Reading.

Universities near Earley

Earley is on the doorstep of the University of Reading, with the Earley Gate entrance leading straight onto the Whiteknights campus. That makes it a favourite for second and third years who want to stay near their lectures but trade the buzz for a bigger house.
