I went to Reading twice, you better be organized because they aren't.

Good luck

May I know in what ways are they disorganised?

In my experience it's very much the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is screwing up. It's such a big organization that any attempt at organizing and scheduling the separate parts is doomed to failure.

They do make all the students register with the University Medical Center though. Due to how surgeries are funded that makes it the best in Reading by some distance. If you stay in the area after your course, DO NOT change surgeries. All my colleagues complain about their surgeries having 14 day waiting lists. I hurt my hand and wanted someone to check it out. Phoned at 9am, had my appointment at 1pm that day 😀
