Description: The University of Reading campus is one of the most spacious and beautiful in England. It is located on the River Thames in a thriving center of commerce that is only 30 minutes from London. The program at the University of Reading offers USAC students the opportunity to enroll in a wide range of courses in a variety of disciplines. During the fall, winter, and spring, courses such as Classical Mythology, Aspects of World Archaeology, International Economics, Old English Poetry, British Cinema, Social Psychology, International Construction, Plant Ecology, Computer Graphics, and Sociological Analysis are offered. USAC students have full use of the University of Reading sports center and student union and can participate in the over 100 organized cultural and sporting activities they offer.

Highlights: Some of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames, The Chilterns and the Berkshire Downs, are within easy reach. Towns and villages on the Thames from Oxford through Wallingford, Goring and Sonning to Henley-on-Thames and Windsor provide pleasant afternoons out. The long distance Ridgeway Path runs along the Downs and Chilterns, and the countryside around Reading has many inns with good food. London is easily reached from Reading, in less than half an hour, and the concert halls, theatres, art galleries and other attractions of the capital are readily available to students.
