In short, the faculty were rude, unhelpful and outright volatile toward myself. If you want the best from an institution that can support and help you find further education or potential work placements, this is NOT the place to go to.\nI attended Henley college a while ago and only continued to study further at University recieving a BA in business marketing and management. When I attended this school I was originally quite introverted and shy. I wasn't the most social person but I had friends who followed from secondary school.\nWithin my second term of first year I began struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I wasn't in a good place, but I remember the college counsellor being helpful, attempting to guide me through speaking to my family about my mental health. Unfortunately I still struggled to open up to anyone, including my girlfriend, friends and family, mainly from my own self-esteem\/embarrassment of the situation. Eventually I struggled attending college but actively made the effort to complete my first year.\nI didn't receive the grades I was hoping for and upon attending a meeting with my mum about either retaking the year or switching courses the psychology tutor reviewing my situation told me to \"take things seriously\" and \"stop letting my mum down\". She made an effort to suggest I \"found the situation funny\". However at this point in my life I was heavily depressed, attending a GP privately for antidepressants and struggling to see a positive outlook on life. Furthermore, I wasn't allowed to redo 2 of my courses as the teachers refused to have me repeat the year. So was switched to a btec course and felt my life was continuing to fall apart.\nBy second year I had withdrawn completely from everyone around me and was now being verbally abused by a former friend. During the second term I was pulled out of class by a head of house and told to \"stop harassing\" this individual despite having no contact with them, and barely socialising with anyone of my friends for the past 3 months. I was made to feel like a pariah who avoided everyone but could somehow still harass others. I made the head of house aware of the situation but was still told what I was doing wasn't right and was dismissed after a scolding from someone who I can politely describe as severely ill-informed. To this day I do not know if there were repercussions for that individual but if I had to guess I'd say no, as I still received verbal abuse a few week later.\nShortly after this I dropped out of Henley college and after a few months of private counselling I attended a different six-form, who assisted me with my UCAS and supported me in attended a university within the top 10 for business marketing in the UK.\nThe memorises I have from this place are mainly negative ones with the exception of the school counsellor. I reached some incredibly low points in my life while attending this institute and the faculty made fit to exacerbate the situation. If you are thinking of applying to this college do so at your own risk. Upon being accepted by another college and a university outside of this place's influence, I can see the standard of this place is completely unacceptable for individuals facing mental health issues and struggling with work loads.\nI wrote this review because to this day the place still haunts me and I wish I did not attend it.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"As someone who studied through Henley college I can not advise against this school enough.

If you want the best from an institution that can support and help you find further education or potential work placements, this is NOT the place to go to.\nI attended Henley college a while ago and only continued to study further at University recieving a BA in business marketing and management. When I attended this school I was originally quite introverted and shy. I wasn't the most social person but I had friends who followed from secondary school.\nWithin my second term of first year I began struggling with severe anxiety and depression. I wasn't in a good place, but I remember the college counsellor being helpful, attempting to guide me through speaking to my family about my mental health. Unfortunately I still struggled to open up to anyone, including my girlfriend, friends and family, mainly from my own self-esteem\/embarrassment of the situation. Eventually I struggled attending college but actively made the effort to complete my first year.\nI didn't receive the grades I was hoping for and upon attending a meeting with my mum about either retaking the year or switching courses the psychology tutor reviewing my situation told me to \"take things seriously\" and \"stop letting my mum down\". She made an effort to suggest I \"found the situation funny\". However at this point in my life I was heavily depressed, attending a GP privately for antidepressants and struggling to see a positive outlook on life. Furthermore, I wasn't allowed to redo 2 of my courses as the teachers refused to have me repeat the year. So was switched to a btec course and felt my life was continuing to fall apart.\nBy second year I had withdrawn completely from everyone around me and was now being verbally abused by a former friend. During the second term I was pulled out of class by a head of house and told to \"stop harassing\" this individual despite having no contact with them, and barely socialising with anyone of my friends for the past 3 months. I was made to feel like a pariah who avoided everyone but could somehow still harass others. I made the head of house aware of the situation but was still told what I was doing wasn't right and was dismissed after a scolding from someone who I can politely describe as severely ill-informed. To this day I do not know if there were repercussions for that individual but if I had to guess I'd say no, as I still received verbal abuse a few week later.\nShortly after this I dropped out of Henley college and after a few months of private counselling I attended a different six-form, who assisted me with my UCAS and supported me in attended a university within the top 10 for business marketing in the UK.\nThe memorises I have from this place are mainly negative ones with the exception of the school counsellor. I reached some incredibly low points in my life while attending this institute and the faculty made fit to exacerbate the situation. If you are thinking of applying to this college do so at your own risk. Upon being accepted by another college and a university outside of this place's influence, I can see the standard of this place is completely unacceptable for individuals facing mental health issues and struggling with work loads.\nI wrote this review because to this day the place still haunts me and I wish I did not attend it.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"As someone who studied through Henley college I can not advise against this school enough.
