Sainsburys is in town, otherwise if you have a car youll find Asda, Tesco and Morrisons all within about 10 mins driving distance.
For people who are living on the Bulmershe campus, Iceland and Waitrose are a 15-minute walk away. Having said that, I did walk to Asda from Bulmershe and it took me just over 3 hours to walk there, shop and walk back (I would suggest, if you're planning on doing this, taking a trolley of some form, as my arms began to ache after 10 minutes...)
is there nothing within walking distance of the uni?

Ah on my first week at the 'mershe i did that massive trip to Asda! Didn't expect it to take that long!
There's a Sainsburys in town centre. Which you can get to by bus and back.
Otherwise, if you have a motor you can easily get to Tesco and Asda.
englighten me!! your post still very relavent though!
How much is it?

The prices keep changing, but I think it's £1.70 for a single, £3.10 for a return, £3.30 for an all day pass. Give or take 10p.
There are no return tickets anymore.
If you're going into the town centre regularly you're better off with an East Reading weekly ticket for £11.
1.70 it is. I was whole last week at Student Village and walking on foot to Asda wasn't such a disaster :P but well I run everyday anyways all the nearest shops aren't cheap there is a closed( or going to be open) Spar just on the edge near Sport Park, but even if it would be open the prices aren't low

When did they stop doing returns?! I got a return only a few weeks ago 
oh well, we only saved liked 20p anyway.
oh well, we only saved liked 20p anyway.1st June. Everyone in Reading was miffed. The alternative to a weekly ticket if you don't use the bus often enough to justify the price is an easysaver 10 - £15 for 10 journeys (£1.50 instead of £1.70 a journey) although they are £12 until 31st August if anyone is in Reading and wants to get one earlier at that price. You can get those in the Broad Street Mall travel kiosk.
I should get sodding comission for this.
i suppose freshers would go into town quite a lot so £11 for a week ticket isnt that bad? or do people not use the bus that much?
