   Do not attended this college!! Staff are lazy and miserable - they do nothing about bullying and are only in it for the money. I was bullied to the point where I had no other choice but leave and this took a massive toll on my education. Teachers are completely unorganised and have no clue on how to properly teach students. Security team may as well not even be there! They are about as useful as my broken garden hose. I learned absolutely nothing at that college and would not recommend if you want and year or two of your education wasted!

   I studied animal management and animal care at Easton. I finished June this year. Lovely campus and some nice staff. However it was quite poor due to disorganisation of most lessons most of the time cancelled due to staff sickness and no one covering the lessons. Resulting in us to go home and have our bus money wasted to get there in the first place. I had a very busy timetable for the two years I was there 5 days a week full days (7.5 hours a day) with work experience (150 hours and weekend duty days). Personally for me, it was not manageable for rest and flexibility. It wasn’t a good college experience in the end because it felt like I’d wasted time since I couldn’t progress any further onto the course I wanted. There was a lot of time to study but they fitted the independent study lessons (which you can do at home) in between actual lessons so you were forced to stay there all day. The teachers at my enrolment gave me misleading information for level 3 animal management. They said if I passed my maths I would be able to do the diploma..once I passed maths in 3 months time - they didn’t allow me to move onto the diploma since I already started the certificate course which I only found out towards the end of the course since I was told otherwise. This was extremely frustrating and stressful as my pathway doors were being closed for my further progression. I had a plan to go to university with this diploma to study vet nursing. However I cannot do this now - thanks to a certain new teacher who didn’t know what she was talking about! I’m now studying 3 alevels at city college Norwich - much better there and less stressful as has more structured days.

   Haven’t really had the best time at this place, especially when the college forced me onto a level 2 Horticulture course as I had a low place in the grading system A lot of the teachers especially on my course are sort of average and can’t take note that I struggle as I am a novice in a lot of areas. The new principal is a bit meh(not very good) when it comes to controlling cuts and getting rid off my favourite lunchtime food of walls pastries, not to mention the new logo looks more like something made in minecraft.

   Went for an open day today, the area is lovely but that’s pretty much it. I was being toured in the Specialist Education area where people with learning disabilities would go. The teachers don’t respect the students in any way that would prepare them for adult independent life, for instance they would bend down to communicate, talking to the parent(s) about an “issue” i’m having while i’m literally in the room at the table trying to explain myself, being told to and unnecessarily pressured into playing a game I don’t understand and clearly don’t want to do, and being “told off” like i’m a stubborn 8 year old because I needed to go and take a breather. It made me feel claustrophobic, my tutor literally said something like “coming to this college is supposed to mean being more mature, but it’s not seeming like you are being very mature, and it makes me wonder whether you are ready to be here.” This is in response to the fact I walked off to go back to the bistro to see my mum because I was overwhelmed. I took myself out of a situation because I felt upset and stressed, which is completely the mature thing to do. This was my first ever day seeing this college and being talked to like that especially by my tutor really put me off. Not to mention that a “tractor ride” I went on was actually being put on the back of a massive trailer, crammed in with up to 30 people, arm to arm, literally so crowded like refugees being illegally transported. Being asked if I was okay in front of all those people by a teacher as well? Like I wasn’t ok but I’m not going to admit that in front of 30 people, it just feels disrespectful of my individuality and you don’t get talked to like an adult unless you are a full blown adult with like 3 kids. Freaking sucks.

   Not going to lie, i did learn somethings and teachers are nice, but! Theres a lot of issues here... for example... I went to Otley Campus, in my 1st year out tutor had favouritism and did not accept relationships, if there was relationships we had to be secret even on breaks and I was very upset by the care of the animals too. 2nd year... some of my teachers left due to amount of students there was, not a single teacher chased up where these missing students were and didnt try to pursuade them to come ro class but knowing the fact that there was just me in the class and tutor left was unfair for me as a student for wanting to learn. 3rd year was a good year but we had no dogs to groom and i did the same groom throughout he whole year and being asked as students to find dogs was very unprofessional, we are here to learn and was not easy for those who dont live nearby, for example I live in another county. As a college i believe the tutors needs to start teaching and organise better.

   A beautiful campus, which i studied at for 2 years. Got exactly where i want to be by studying my diploma here. Staff were amazing, nothing was ever a problem. You get out what you put in. After failing a-levels, i am now going on to study veterinary medicine, which I put down to my lecturers and lots of practical experience within my course.
