What sixth form/collage should I choose

I'm in Yr 11, and it time for us to look for sixth form/collages were interested in as we have to apply in this year but I'm struggling to choose what one I should go to. I want to be a forensic (not sure which one tho but definitely a forensic) and I was looking for 6th form/colleges with forensic science as a course and I found Midkent College in Gillingham, but the thing is there is mixed reviews, some say that it's a great school with great tutors and that but others are saying to not send ur kids there and how it's a terrible school. My other option is to go Holcombe (not sure if I spelled that correct, if I spelled it wrong mb) but it doesn't have forensic science or criminology which is an a-level I want to do. So my options would be to risk it and go to Midkent collage and it turn out great/ or horribly bad or go Holcombe but not do criminology which I'm pretty sure can help me alot. There is a thing between Holcombe and my school where you can do an a-mevel in my school and do another a-level in Holcombe meaning I can do the a-levels I want ( for some background information I would go to my schools 6th form but I need chem and they don't do it) but I'm not sure if you can do it any more as some people tried to do it but were declined.
So should I risk it or take the safe option

Very sorry that this is long I just wanted to make sure that everything makes sense and that my options were explained enough to get the help I need. Also sorry about any spelling mistakes I was rushing when typing this
