People who say "read" instead of "study"

I find it's more foreigners who use it.

Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing before!!
It only sounds good if you say something along the lines of 'i'm going to read law at oxford'. Imagine if I started telling people I was going to read psychology and criminology at Salford, what a total dick I'd sound haha

These kids sound so pretentious :/

You're not upper class, allow yourself.

Like...

"I'm going to read law at xyz university"

Mate.. go read a book.

-_-


Thoughts?

Try doing a degree without reading and tell us all how it goes.

But you don't say I read xyz at A levels.

-_-

But I do, because for most degrees that's what you will be doing a lot of the time.

I agree completely.

If someone were to tell me they are "reading" a subject, or if they were to ask me what I was "reading" I would never speak to them again beyond that conversation.

It's mostly old people though

I prefer to play games over read. So should I say

I'm going to play game at xyz university

Suppose you could say that if you're failing.
