ZETH

I wanted a fresh start from High School so I joined Uxbridge College due to its reputation for being the best and my friends’ recommendations. I feel very comfortable here. The teachers are very supportive, helpful, understanding and attentive of student needs. The Student Support Team have been very helpful as well. I like Uxbridge College because as a big college, it gives me the chance to have my own space and it provides for students’ needs.

Uxbridge College is located close to where I live and offered the course I wanted to study, so it was the obvious choice for me. My school told me about the College as well. I think the best thing about the College is being able to get extra support not just in class but outside of lessons as well. The staff are very helpful and friendly and it’s the best place to be. I hope to go to university on completion my course here.
