“When I first arrived my tutor contacted me and we had a nice chat in the college café. I know if something goes wrong, there is always some one I can contact. I would describe the college as colourful because people are from different backgrounds. As people are from very diverse backgrounds there are a whole lot of stories to be heard and it’s really fun!”
