ASIS View of Padworth College
Padworth occupies a distinct place in the ASIS Federation. It is the only fully international college – 90% are boarders – with more than 20 different nationalities. Situated near Reading and only a short journey from Heathrow airport, it is ideally located for its cosmopolitan community. Very strong individual academic care and excellent academic and artistic results achieved . Founders wanted it to replicate the Oxford model of compatible students learning together in small tutor groups. A well-bonded community spirit is clearly evident, encouraging international understanding and harmony.
I believe my success is due to the great support provided by SI-UK. I was advised the right IELTS courses to attend and they also helped with my visa application. I really want to share with you my positive experience and I would definitely recommend SI-UK to my friends.
