as a mature student returning to education, I have loved my time at the college. the lecturers have aided my integration with my younger students, and the students themselves have been brilliant.

one word - excellent!

I have had the opportunity to utilise quite a lot of the support services, and cannot fault the provision

the knowledge of the lecturers is very apparent, and they take a real interest in you as a person, you are not just a number, you are a real person! The lecturers appear to be getting put under more and more pressure by the senior management, and they could be in danger of losing the 'family' feel of the place

the college bring in experts from the industry, and organise events and opportunities for me to gain a valuable insight in to what is required in my area

Overall I have enjoyed the opportunities this course has allowed me to do including ambassador and our educational trip to Berlin. I enjoy the social side of this course as everybody is different which has allowed me to gain new communication skills.

I enjoy the facilities around me in college especially the 10th floor in Parsons as I appreciate the free printing which I benefit from as I take full advantage of this.

I appreciate this as it is always done in the best way, feedback and grades are always on time.

The teaching on our course is very beneficial as I enjoy having discussions on certain topics and always get the help I need with my work which I find really helps my overall grade.

During Level 4, we had the opportunity to be become ambassadors for Newcastle Airport. I gained employment through this and currently work as a Passenger Services Assistant in the airport. This has helped me to gain the skills I need in order to work within this industry. Being an ambassador allowed us to experience real life situations, and how to cope with these problems to further help us develop new skills required for our future jobs in this industry.
