Description

Reading (233,000), is pleasantly situated on the River Thames, is a wonderful place to study abroad in England. Just a quick 30-minute train ride from London, Reading offers the best of both worlds. You can easily access the capital city while living in a great urban environment.

Reading's cityscape shows a unique blend of old and new, that is witnessed in picturesque streets, lined with traditional red brick structures and modern commercial buildings. Students joining ISA for a term in Reading will attend the University of Reading, and find themselves on the 300 acres of landscaped parkland which was once a medieval manor estate. This campus provides an ideal setting for a modern university.

Study abroad program participants will take courses with British students, learning alongside locals, while participating in local British culture through this dynamic academic experience.
