Hey

I go there and its actually really good .. to a point they do try and get you to do well but they won't force you into anything .. you have to be quite independent in that way.

Its probably not as relaxed as some colleges .. but I've just finished my first year and done great there :smile:

Message me if you want to know anything :biggrin:

I Really want to go, but Im a bit concerned about the distance because I live in Birmingham-Edgbaston....so it would be qiute a journey. With all the work load, would it be too much pressure to go?

Well i thought i hadn't got in seeing as my mates received their offers last week , until yesterday morning when a letter came through the post. Another of my friends got in today so there is every possibility you'll get an offer shortly :smile:

I'm predicted 9A's and i've already achieved 4A*'s and 1A

i went, physics and computing teachers are crap, you just have to teach yourself which isnt to bad tbh. library's good. Maths teachers AMAZING! And teachers for any subject where you have to write alot like history, english and the rest are pretty good too. nothing to do in town either, youll spend ALOT of time in the library. Overall its fine.
