The only thing i struggle with is getting there really early on mondays and wednesdays as the buses are all packed and the tutors think its great that the attendance matters and i was a abbey campus student and they said it doesnt matter but you have to be on time all the time but they say differntly and also ibwas told youre not allowed to charge your phone and clearly youre allowed as long as theres nothing in the plug sockets that says do mot use! Honestly its good but the lack of staff need to change tbf on my opinion\n\nI dont like the fact teachers are making us literally work on mondays as we have lessons all day long and some of the teachers sometimes need to wind their necks in on the way they speak as well like i was trying to prepair for my maths exam and i was told not to and inwas angry because i wasnt allowed to be given the opportunity to sort that out..also, i was blamed for something which wasnt all my fault and was told i wasnt capable of doing a level 2 course and im on a ehcp till im 25 so i can have funding they told me and my mum that they cant do that all because they only care about money so i was so upset and left this college. Wednesdays i used to go college, then go home eat then having to come back and the english was super slow it was unbelievable.\n\nThey also said the same to my friend as well and i was that unhappy about it and hes even had to do a level 1 course again all because they said the same thing to him as they said to me and not only that he got the same grades as me! Pass for everything distinction for photography so think twice before you do somehing St Margarets campus!\n\nOther than this i met so many great friends and they helped me along the way but mostly there was a few people there for me thay were there for me ever sice but some of them were sticking up for others and i was having flashbacks from the past and it was making me feel ill but im not going into detail. But this was one of the best experiences i had but when my friends turned down on occasions inwas incredibky heart broken thinking they'd never be my friend again but this wasnt true it was only one friend thank goodness.\n\nThe manager here is absolutely terrrible he blames people for things and then sticks uo for them and sets us up to be bad examples of the college which is so unfair.\nBut thats all i can say about that.
