hi everyone, i have just come back from the 'one day college' and really i still dont know where to go
the sixth form collegei felt socially inferior (everyone else was talking to people, they seemed to know everyone
and i was just wondering around....) but still i made quite a few friends
, i found 2 french people like me
coool..... and the science center was attached to the university next to it so we went in there and seriously it's huuuuuuuge
(like u could fit 100 people in there......serious
) my biology teacher was sooo funny
(but i might not have him next year)
people wise..... i have to say i got scared for the first period, but it was fine. the people there were mixed, some were funny and idiot like (which i quite liked because i had some fun times)
others were very disciplined, shy and well behaved and some very very very talkative
. so i guess the atmosphere is quite nice. Didn't met any rude people or people that didn't care about learning (probably because they are doing subjects they like) but it's so strange
the only problem is that they are doing OCR for the sciences.....and i have been doing AQA so am scared i wont be able to adjust or something. the other problem is the stairs and the hugeness of the building (4 storeys, 3 stairs.......) i got lost 3 times.....but that's fine, i will eventually adjust (dunno why i mention this)
they have a lot of free computers and comfy, quiet areas to work in ur free times, offer work experiences and stuff
the grammar sixth formteachers were quite strict unlike the college and basically expected you to know everything at GCSE to A* standard (eventhough they only asked for B grades for sciences) so they don't go over these things whereas the college said they will
all the people were either shy/disciplined/(arrogant)/very clever as if they were perfect.....but that might just be my thoughts (i think tooo much in details btw)
they didn't show us around or anything
there you go my experiences so far...... where should i go then.....i'd say the sixth form college but what about the exam boards
