I went to stanmore.
Lessons times vareid you have to do 5hrs a week per subject. In A2 I had a lot of free time. You don't have to be in college if you don't have a lesson so if your first lesson isn't till 1pm you don't have to go into 1pm.
Yes you can drive there, but students can't park in the car park you have to park in the side roads. It's not too bad. I had a few freinds who parked there.
As for making friends, yes it can be easy all depends on how social and outgoing you are.

I don't go stanmore or harrow college, but I know a few people that do..
From what they've said, they are really friendly and easygoing- stanmore is supposed to have a very good atmosphere..

They mostly finished very early, but I'm not sure whether it's more to do with the course they took than anything else

In first year at stanmore after your last AS exam you kinda finish then you have to go back for a week to start A2 but most teachers are fairly relaxed about this and give you the time off. Depends what subjects your doing I suppose.The we have activity week in like the last week of june but you don't have to go to that. And at A2 you finish straight after your last exam.

A student at stanmore is going to have a near 0% chance of getting into oxbridge.
