I posted a negative review of this college but it was removed for unknown reasons.\n\nI will start with the tutors. Most tutors came across disorganised and dispassionate about the subjects they taught. During the lesson it was common for most tutors to go off-topic. Whilst a few tutors were good at their jobs, most were not. I would recommend some of the tutors to get therapy...because I have seen tutors bring their personal problems into the class which is so unprofessional and embarrassing.\n\nNext the students. The students here come from a South Asian\/Muslim background. They hold strong cultural views and form these tribal packs. It is difficult to socialise with these students if you are not part of that background. If you stand out, it is likely they will pounce on you like a pack of hyenas.There is also a gang culture problem. Some of these students are disruptive in class and I have seen them bully\/harass other students.\n\nThe good news is that the college is well built and the library is well equipped. However, the college has a serious OCD problem concerning building maintenance. I understand it needs to be well maintained but there is no need to go crazy. I heard a tutor scream as though the building was on fire when he caught a student chewing gum. I have been to five colleges to study various long\/short courses and I have never seen the staff go this crazy. They care more about the building than the students.\n\nAlso they spend so much money on those silly plasma television's plastered all over the building. What a waste of money. It is just a silly marketing ploy to show off to visitors\/potential students and make them go all flabbergasted.\n\nThere was also this cranky student finance officer. I think she was on her periods which might explain her attitude problem. Lots of students complained about her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was fired.\n\nAnyway that's my review.

I have been to five colleges to study various long\/short courses and I have never seen the staff go this crazy.
