The english & sociology departments are very good in particular, and there is a wide selection of food in S building but nothing really anywhere else. Making students pay for landyards when they forget it is very greedy and annoying in my opinion. It doesn't have a \u00c2\u00a32 cost to print off some numbers on paper in a reused landyard! I was dissapointed when I struggled academically and instead of offering me support they basically told me to give up and choose the lowest ranked uni for a course I don't want to do instead of telling me to improve my grades. They do not offer encouragement for those struggling, but they do offer freedom. It's quite difficult to make friends as they didn't introduce students to one another and let them sit where they want so people who know nobody are pretty much left out. I didn't make any real friends the entire time. They are unorganised around exams and leave teachers to organise help and revision sessons, so it's up to your teacher whether or not to even give you exam support. It's not the worst college, but they absolutely do the bare minimum","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Most colleges provide barely any support, so if you're expecting someone to reach out to you when you're struggling, this is not the college for you.
