I'd go to Reading because it's ranked only slightly less than Surrey and Reading is an older university (1892 v 1966) so has more aesthetic appeal and prestige to me. Reading is also known for work in robotics. University of Surrey's roots actually go back to 1891, as a polytechnic, but University of Reading used to be a constituent college of the University of Oxford.

Reading has more famous alumni too - poet Wilfrid Owen, politician Penny Mordaunt, sportsman James Cracknell. Surrey has.. fashion designer Wayne Hemingway.

Guildford is not a great place to live - have you visited both unis?

Which course do you prefer?

Reading - better 'techie' Uni, and Surrey/Guildford is expensive.

I live here in reading 😃 and i have visited university of reading but not Surrey. And I'm confused which uni should i choose. Even if i choose Surrey I am commuting from reading. So i want a suggestion in terms of costs, facilities, opportunities, environment. Thank you 😀 and I'm doing bsc computer science
