Final comments
First of all, lots of people chose Reading because it's really near to London (train every 10 min. to Paddington, 25min. all). If you travel a lot by train, it's better buying a reduction card.
Academic life: be organised, and begin your essays and stuff quite in advance to have the time to find the right book.
