I feel due to attending this course other than gaining knowledge and coming out with a certificate I have gained something much more valuable. and that is passion. I enjoy coming into uni because I know whoever is teaching me they are full of passion in what they do. and without a doubt it's shined on me

Have joined this college in my final year, previously studying in Yeovil college. Lectures and my course friends have been helpful and welcoming
All facilities are great
Sometimes it's hard to contact a lecturers outside of college when they don't respond to you email
I'd like our lecturers to talk to each other more. Sometimes it feels as if we are recapping something we did before with another teacher

Still in heavier focus on the arts
The college offers me a lot of personal support and the tutor are helpful and guide me through my work. We have great facilities and are given a lot of experience with our theatre
The facilities are great in terms of our theatre, however we receive a low budget and are never able to afford the equipment we would like
The support offered by our tutors is second to none and I am aware if I have any problems personal or with my work they are there to offer support
The course lecturers are educated and keep our lessons interesting. We are also taught about what is happening in the world which makes us educated in all aspects. Great tutors
We have outside connections to the industry and are taught what the industry is like to prepare us
Good overall, computers could use an upgrade, but all works for what we need it for currently
Pacing is sometimes very slow. Lecturers are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help
