New College Durham Reviews

This is some text inside of a div block.

Brilliant staff, courses and amenities surrounding! I first started New College Durham back in September 2019, since then I have studied two level 3 courses, passed both my Maths and English Language GCSE's and am currently about to start my 2nd year at university level! Despite other reviews listed for this college/university campus, this facility has great staff for teaching and offers multiple teams to support you with issues inside and outside of student life. The campus has never posed any issue for myself and I have met many of my great friends at this location. The Facilities that I have had access to as a student for these years have been fantastic, providing great equipment to aid with learning both as a part of class and on our own. In my time at New College I have dealt with around 14 - 15 tutors, due to studying four different subjects, and I have had not a problem with any of them. They are friendly, supportive and brilliant at what they do! I do have autism and when I have needed support it has been there, I did not use all the resources that they had as I am quite self-sufficient 99.9% of the time, but when they are needed they definitely do not disappoint. I think most (although not all) negative reviews online for this college/university are due to young adults leaving school and starting college expecting to be coddled like a petulant school child when they are legally a young adult, you shouldn't have to be forced into making something of yourself, you should just want to do it. That aside, I do also realize courses can be vastly different hence why I do not think every negative review is unwarranted, however due to the length of time I have studied there you see examples of the above on a constant basis and I feel it is unfair that most reviews reflect surprised youth's forgetting that they are no longer children. Overall I cannot fault this college/university, I have met my closest friends and learned to hone in my skills to make myself better at my chosen profession whilst at New College Durham. The staff and support teams are brilliant and it is local to many great eats and Durham city center, can't go wrong!
