The college was large (at that time around 1000 students) and I made many new friends whom I still had contact with after leaving the college. The RE lessons and tutorials were also interesting and was very welcoming. I would highly recommend the college if you are willing to study hard outside of lesson time. Although the college results were similar to the national average at the time it is not due to poor teaching.
