Current Events > Do Brits really say they 'read' (instead of study) a subject in university?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whenever I see a book by a British author and read the bio at the back, it says "so and so read history at the University of West Anglia"

that honestly is one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I read at Harvard. I read at a lot of universities but Harvard had a nice quiet library you can read in.

Only if they went to a really old University or are really upper class. It's a fairly old term and most people don't use it anymore.
