Student Accommodation in Whiteknights

Student housing in Whiteknights, Reading

For the shortest possible walk to lectures, it's hard to beat Whiteknights. This is the area wrapped around the University of Reading's main campus, so student housing in Whiteknights mostly means you can leave the house at 8:50 and still make a 9am. The campus itself is a parkland site with a lake and woodland walks, which makes the daily commute more pleasant than most.

What's around Whiteknights

The campus does a lot of the heavy lifting. The RUSU Students' Union runs the bar and club nights, the campus shops cover the basics, and the food outlets around the central square handle the between-lectures hunger. Whiteknights Lake and the surrounding grounds are good for a clear-the-head walk before a deadline. For a proper shop, the supermarkets along Shinfield Road and Wokingham Road are a short walk or bus ride, and the town centre is close enough for a night out without much planning.

Getting around

You're on campus, so a lot of the time you'll just walk. When you need town, the white knight 20 runs from campus to Reading Station via Market Place roughly every 15 minutes, around ten minutes door to door. The claret 21 runs 24/7 for late finishes, and the leopard 3, buzz 9 and ruby 10 stop at nearby Christchurch Green. Cycling is quick across this side of town too.
