Re: Research: What makes a good college?As I've been to two different colleges I can definitely say the support, resources and course lay out are really important factors to consider. The support and resources are obvious but the way the course is laid out is not usually considered. I started a level 3 course in one college and left a few months in (irrelevant to the course or college) and when I started a similar level 3 course in my current college I found the way we were given the work was a lot different and a lot easier to cope with.
At this college we do one brief and cover three units whereas in my old college we would be doing three projects at a time covering individual units. It became very confusing and frustrating but now I focus on one project at a time and there are more tutors to help us with our work rather than one tutor covering the whole class. I wouldn't change anything about my current college but I'm really glad I didn't return to my old one.
