Studying at Reading was an interesting experience. The professors were wonderful; knowledgable, helpful, aproachable... unfortunately less can be said about most of the students.

Personal comments
Well, for a Belgian, going to Britain without enjoying pub crawls would have been a nonsense, and there are enough pubs in Reading in order to make this a reality.
I like to dance in nightclubs, and I have to admit that the best nightclub I have ever spent the night in was just near Reading, in Calcot exactly, just outside the motorway. Its name is the "Utopia", where the atmosphere is always fantastic!
