Rubbish CollegennIt's been about 2 or 3 years now since I had an open day at that college. It was a horrific experience as the college were not well organised and didn't have a good impression.nnI was trying to find the room which has the staff that talk about the course that I was interested in however, one of the tutors approached me on that day and shouted their head off and said why am I wondering about when I was actually trying to find the room number. At that point, I knew this was not the right college for me especially that I have a disability which would make me struggle to cope.nnAs I was looking around and leaving, there are just Asian boys and girls who are messing around, vaping, swearing, and making out inside the college and outside on their premises. I was absolutely disgusted with the profession of the staff and the students. I wanted to write the review today as I never got a chance to write it and that the enrollment day has approached for the students. My advice is to not go to this college as it would take your child to the wrong path and they would not have the right support and education offered at this college. Thank you for taking your time and reading this.
Joseph Chamberlain gets a lot of unfair criticism. The Tutors and Library Staff are some of the nicest people you will meet, the Teachers have such a good bond with Students and want the best for them even if they don't teach them. The facilities are really useful and the College genuinely wants to know how to improve for the benefit of Staff and students. People who don't even attend the college make assumptions and pass it off as fact, but Ofsted thinking we're Outstanding says a lot.
I was a student here a few years ago. I posted a negative review of this college but it was removed for unknown reasons.nnI will start with the tutors. Most tutors came across disorganised and dispassionate about the subjects they taught. During the lesson it was common for most tutors to go off-topic. Whilst a few tutors were good at their jobs, most were not. I would recommend some of the tutors to get therapy...because I have seen tutors bring their personal problems into the class which is so unprofessional and embarrassing.nnNext the students. The students here come from a South Asian/Muslim background. They hold strong cultural views and form these tribal packs. It is difficult to socialise with these students if you are not part of that background. If you stand out, it is likely they will pounce on you like a pack of hyenas.There is also a gang culture problem. Some of these students are disruptive in class and I have seen them bully/harass other students.nnThe good news is that the college is well built and the library is well equipped. However, the college has a serious OCD problem concerning building maintenance. I understand it needs to be well maintained but there is no need to go crazy. I heard a tutor scream as though the building was on fire when he caught a student chewing gum. I have been to five colleges to study various long/short courses and I have never seen the staff go this crazy. They care more about the building than the students.nnAlso they spend so much money on those silly plasma television's plastered all over the building. What a waste of money. It is just a silly marketing ploy to show off to visitors/potential students and make them go all flabbergasted.nnThere was also this cranky student finance officer. I think she was on her periods which might explain her attitude problem. Lots of students complained about her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was fired.nnAnyway that's my review. Okay the above may come across as a rant but there is an element of truth to it. It's my experience of this dreadful college.
Terrible college, most teachers there get personal with the students, they are lazy and sometimes have no clue as to what they are doing.nnThey don't allow or prioritize for hard working students into the college, whereas they let in the not so passionate ones. One of the reasons why its a flawed college.nnThe students there are immature, they have a cultural thing going on, where if not fitting into it, then they make you feel uncomfortable and go ballistic on you.nnThere's no improvement everyday to help and prepare for university, going to that college is like being in school again.
I've been a student in this college for more than 3 years and I find some of the reviews quite ridiculous tbh. The college offers decent facilities and most teachers definitely put in more than they have to. Overall a Good college, one of the better options.
