I wanted to study at the College because of the fantastic facilities on offer. I like the independence students are given, which makes it a lot different from school. All the teachers for my courses are very supportive, giving me help and advice whenever I need it. I would like to go to university to study Drama, and hopefully go into directing or stage management.

I chose the course because it was relevant for my career aims. During my time here I’ve found that the tutors are very helpful and the other students are friendly. I hope to complete my degree at Chichester University and pursue a career in Social Work.

I chose this College because I had heard good feedback from previous students and it had the course I wanted. I like the College because the tutors are approachable and I always get the help I need. My future ambition is to go to university and get a job related to marketing.

The College is convenient to travel to and it offers a wide variety of courses. I like the facilities in the College and it’s a great working environment. My future ambitions are to be a self-employed joiner and own a joinery firm.
