A girl in my English class left my school to do the IB two years ago at Swansea College; as far as I know, she enjoyed it. I rather wish I'd done it sometimes instead of staying on in sixth form at my school.

Good luck with your GCSE results!

It's not much help but I looked at going there to do the IB. I was fully prepared to move there and go.

If you were to do the course, it looks like you would be in good company.

I thought the fees only applied to international students.

your situation pretty much reflects mine :smile:

got 9 GCSEs
then went to college last september to do AS levels but found it boring most of the time
now i don't want to go back there and make the same mistakes again
i want to do something different!
IB seems like more of a challenge

are you doing an IB this year coming? in wales?

I've failed my AS levels. Wish I could move to Swansea & do the IB.

I should be doing the IB yes, but not in Wales now, unfortunately. I never got round to applying at Swansea as I spent a lot of time thinking about it whilst applying to other places and then it was a bit too late.
