It has been great. Plenty of workshops learning new techniques, going on trips such as Wales, Witley Court and to a studio in Birmingham. The tutors are very helpful with everything inside and outside of college, I feel I can talk to my tutor with confidence.
They are always in good condition, we have an HE centre which is nice to go to work, also can heat food and make hot drinks.
The tutor is always there when needed, always gives feedback on work and there are support areas clearly available such as career advice, financial support.
Tutors are always there when needed, quick replies to emails. Plenty of facilities to use and always getting new things in. Tutors always listen and give advice when needed.

enjoyable when in class and with tutors and peers sometimes struggle with work load due to personal circumstances. I would recommend this campus to anyone if it was to provide the course they wish to study, more so for animals care as i believe the animal care unit is very pleasing, and has had positive feed back from Ofsted for being the best in the area in regards to welfare.
Excellent, wide range of animals and welfare is of a high standard.
tutors are very supportive and always happy to help. great support from H.E admissions officer.
I like the small groups and classroom settings over a busy big auditorium. I feel we have the ability to have more support from lectures Some lessons can be long when a great detail of talking from lecturer to class, however i understand that this is what is needed.
