   Horrible horrible place, DO NOT GO. They try to trick you into thinking it's this perfect place with no flaws, it's not. You can find a lot of nice students (although this is the case with most colleges) but a lot, primarily the construction students are straight up horrible, I've seen them randomly scream at students walking past for fun or generally make fun of people for no reason, and don't even get me started on the toilets. The toilets ones at gate 1 (Main site) are usually fine although you do get the occasional group of people walking in and smoking weed, but at gate 3 (Holcot) and gate 4 (Pitsford), trying to use the toilets there as intended is the metaphorical equivalent to blending cat shit and drinking it like a smoothie. You'll walk in and you're instantly hit with the strong scent of urine and God knows what, you try to use any of the stalls and half of the locks don't work, and the ones that do are either drenched in piss or somebodies smashed off the toilet paper dispenser, and you'd think the walls and doors of the stalls was an art exhibit for Nazi Germany considering how many swastikas and racist stuff was written on them. The college management is absolutely horrible, many students, including myself have had their timetables switched around more than 4 times after starting, I wasn't even told my days that I was supposed to be in until the day before I started, and I've heard from a couple of students that they had signed up for a course, gotten placement for it, then was in the course for 3 weeks before the college told them that "erm actually you don't have the grades for that course", and moved them to a lower level course, the fact is they shouldn't have let them on the course in the first place if they didn't have the grades and made them feel like the college completely ruined their career path. Overall horrible college, horrible people, and horrible management.

   The worse college EVER where do I start? . Teacher are vile and just all leave the public services course and are rude .Tom the head on the department for sports it’s rude and doesn’t care a bit about issues. And Bobby the English teacher should have a job, weird person and shouldn’t be teaching kids at his level. As soon as people come around to check would the college is doing the will turn really nice and put the rules in place. Absolutely vile college don’t take you son or daughter!!!

   As a visitor your college is not very welcoming. There is no security or reception on site by the football pitches to welcome, guide or sign you in. I have driven a coach from Nottingham with Notts County FC on and when I find a canteen area I am met with rude, abrupt obnoxious staff, saying no I.D, no DBS, I can't serve you. If you are going to let teams use your facilities, then you need to be more active with the above. Also having previously worked in sports ground maintenance at the University of Nottingham, the condition and quality of your pitches are pretty bad in comparison.

   worst college ever. the staff are terrible and dont support the students, even with work. the animal care course all you do is clean up poop and dont do anything else and the campus site is so uncomfortable because you have to walk 2 miles just to get to English or maths class.

   I started the animal course in september 2023, i met a lot of nice people there but most of the people doing the construction courses think they’re tough as ever and smoke weed at moulton park. The theory side of it is quite easy and basic decency on how to not abuse an animal. However the practical side of the course was not the best. I got 3 hours (out of 30 hours) a week with the animals ensuring there fed & watered obviously, cleaning there faeces out. But most the time you could tell the keepers hadn’t cleaned it well over the weekend.After time it got boring as the lecturers would put you on the same unit each week e.g reptiles or farm. You had to do 125+ hours of work experience in your own time & honestly if you’ve got a job and a life it’s quite hard to do. And it can be quite stressful if your struggling to get a placement. if you’re unable to complete that the college makes you do it there during the summer holidays. Then commercial days where you go in on your days off to the college, the keepers treat you like nothing giving you like two breaks a day. All they do is stand around or gossip in their offices, but i do give it to them they come in every day to make sure the animals are okay even on christmas day. At the end of the academic year i hadn’t done my hours and truthfully i was done with the course i just wanted to leave. I was going on the Sourh Africa trip they offer on the course which is already paid the full amount for & they threatened me saying i wouldn’t be able to go on the trip if i didn’t do my hours & i would not get a refund. Bare in mind this was two weeks before the trip, it was really stressful and i had to go back into college in my own free time, cancelling work and couldn’t properly say goodbye to my friends before going on the trip (Not to sound dramatic lol) Overall i’m glad i’m done and finished from Moulton. Their organisation skills are horrific, leaving things very last minute and promising you stuff they can’t give.

   Sunday horse show.... Arrived and no parking for horses, hundreds of cars taking all the parking allocated for trailers and 3.5 trucks, finally parked trailer in the hgv park, but still only enough parking for holding a small pony rally.... Got down to the warm up arena.... No staff present....a rider fell in the warm up arena, no staff, no first aid, Whole thing totally disorganised, would recommend giving this venue a miss.... Unorganised shambles!!

   Seemed great before course started, however the course is very demanding and there is very little support for this, or mental health issues. Also parents are not notified of abscences until student is about to be rsmoved from course. Administration and pastoral care really needs urgently looking at.

   We had received my girlfriends welcome pack and her bursary forms along with her PPE informing that she has been accepted into a level 2 course in September. I have spoke to her course Lecture and she is saying that she hasn’t been accepted because of her attendance. Her attendance was low because at the start of the year she didn’t get her timetable for maths and that deducted a lot of her attendance. She also did some hours of work experience but the college took no consideration with helping her with her mental health and everything that she had to go through with work replacement, the course managers was completely unacceptable. I think I did more work then the college with trying to help her with the situations that the college failed to produce. She had high hopes in September too carry on with a new experience at the college but the college failed to help her and gave her wrong information.

   Terrible, would not recommend. I was studying Animal Care and, while that stream of learning is demanding, there was an overwhelming amount of assignments, along with work experience and commercial experience in college, these were impossible to complete simultaneously. On top of this, there was a lack of organisation regarding where to find documents, information and lessons were sometimes entirely cancelled due to staff meetings, COVID and some unauthorised absences of the lecturer. Staff - Very rude and unorganised. Lecturers would not respond to emails regarding help, but would discipline without taking responsibility on their behalf even though they were in the wrong, no apologies whatsoever. In general, most lecturers had a terrible attitude towards the class, sometimes targeted but mostly to the entire class, leaving the learning environment feeling hostile and making it difficult to reach out for help. Curriculum - I, and some of my peers were unaware that there would be a business aspect in this course. All peers, when asked: "is anybody interested in starting their own business?" replied with no. This business aspect could have been optional or a lesson but not with assignments considering, in my case, my lecturer constantly flaked on the lessons and would not tell us where to go. There were also events on our days off (or when people were supposed to be completing their work experience) where we would have to stay home on call for hours listening to career choices which had mostly nothing to do with our course on a few occasions. This time could have been used to complete the colossal amount of work given. Also if you didn't attend, even though the calls were irrelevant, (I sat through them all, so I can confirm this) you would constantly be alerted and move up the disciplinary ladder. Mental health - when joining this course, everyone was assured that the college was supportive of mental health but did not live up to their word. A particular lecturer would jump to conclusions, humiliate you infront of your peers by pointing you out and isolating you from the class during lessons. They did not pull you aside to talk. Other lecturers were reluctant to help other students for no reason, this links back to the isolating too as a select group of people would have the lecturer the entire lesson leaving the rest confused, bored and struggling because we don't learn as much as the rest.
