My experience at Reading has been one that i will always treasure, as i've had the best 4 years studying here. To make sure that you can say the same, be sure to choose a course you like and understand the things that you want from a university.

I really enjoy the social life here, but you've got to make an effort to know what's going on sometimes and make sure you sign up to societies but only ones you know you will go to!

I love reading as a town and being close to home. My course can be challinging and i've had difficult moments with some people but overall i couldn't wish to be anywhere else. My advice would be that location and medule options are the key to happiness
