which hall do i choose in reading university?

hi,

i want to pick a fun, lively and cool hall to live in for starting in 2023 at reading university but i cant find any chats or forums talking about reading uni life in a casual non biased manner. i want to live on one of the campus student accomodation.. i've been looking at mackinder and benyon so far.
does anyone go to reading uni or know anyone from reading that has as good word to say about the halls they stayed in for first year?
i visited reading uni and went past the sports but and into this student cafe across a road and amongst the uni accomodation but i have no idea what its called or where it was. i liked the halls around there, the vibe was nice.

thank you!

Hi, I'm currently in halls at Reading. There isn't really a most lively hall - everybody argues that where they're staying is the most fun!
I'm in Bridges, there's a lot of flat parties if that's what you're into and it's the most modern accommodation on campus. I really like that reception is just outside (literally a 30 second walk for me) so you can easily pick up parcels from the post room, do your laundry and get any help that you need - the staff are all lovely. You cross the lake to get to the centre of campus, so it's quite a pretty walk too Personally I think Bridges, Stenton and Mackinder are the nicest, but it's all down to personal preference and you should 100% try to see the room options in person before choosing (the photos can be deceiving). You can find reviews for the different halls on studentcrowd.com, so definitely check that out too.
Hope this helps, don't hesitate to ask any other questions!
