While I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had here for anything, there were lots of things that could be better. The worst aspect of the college, however, is housing. The dorms are adequate, but the college owned apartments are appalling. They were built as temporary 10-year housing in the early 80's. They are still being used. They are in advanced stages of disrepair, and almost none of the locks to the buildings operate correctly. Also, the security here is a joke. There is nothing secure here. There are no privacy rights at this college. The gathering and alcohol policies are ridiculous and ineffective, however, they enforce these with a vengeance. They spend weekends looking to write up students for having parties while there are assaults and rapes on campus property. Also, there in insufficient parking for students. Since Reading, PA has one of the highest violent crime rates per capita in the nation, there should be more protected parking areas. There were no less than 15 occurrences of car break-ins this past fall alone. Don't come here if you want "the college experience."
