the main college in harlow town, knife crime is so bad they had to hire an external security company, cantine prices are extortionate, the lady with the curly hair and glassess at reception is rude and dismissive (coulda put a better person as the first impression of the organisation) the students are generally rude and obnoxious, no mannors in sight. male students openly cat call female students and nothing effective is done about it even when reported by them or others. dont waste your time or money here. buildings are bland and depressing despite recant rennovations that disrupted many puples learning. ipads given to students are in poor condition, for refrence it took 3 weeks after term start for me to get one wich had a significant impact on my learning . most equiptment is old and looks like its been there sinse it was built in the 1980s. some of the buildings are unfinished or in terrible condition with exposed piping, broken windows and chipped walls, there is one corodor where there is clear water damage on the ceiling and a hole in the floor that has been poorly patched up with chip board where sombody fell through it. im not joking. electrical devices havent been tested since 2012 (from what ive read on labels). if your thinking "im just there to do the exams then leave" one exam i was sitting took 3 hours after the designated start time to begin and after all that the next day they lost a peice of it. dont make the same mistake coming here that i did.
