Collyers vs BHASVIC 6th form

I'm thinking about which colleges to go to at the moment and I think I want to study music, media and english lit. A-levels so am going to apply to Collyers and BHASVIC. I just wondered if anyone has any experience of either of these and could tell me the pros and cons of each as I am trying to decide between them.

Hi, I am currently attending Collyer’s and am about to go into Year 13 (studying English Lit, Law and Sociology). I found my first year of Collyer’s to be a wonderful experience. I can’t speak for all of them but the majority of staff are very lovely and supportive and it’s very easy to navigate your way around campus. There is a lot of emphasis on independent study which is great but can be a bit stressful at times, particularly when applying to university. English Lit has been so fun!
I can’t speak much for Bhasvic, but I know Collyer’s is more highly rated and has a smaller campus.
At the end of the day, it depends on where you live and whether you prefer the courses at Collyer's or Bhasvic. But from my experience, I would say that Collyer’s is a wonderful college and I would highly recommend going there. If you have any other questions about Collyer’s, do let me know and I’d be happy to answer them :smile:
