I regret going there. In saying all that I have probably had a great time there but at the same time I have had my worst

bad support
They do not care about their student mental health or personal issues. They say that they do and they present assemblies on how they support students but in reality if a student went to go seek help they would get literally nothing in return

Covid-19
The way they have handled COVID has not been great. We end up mixing with other years even though they say we are not. Our lunch is always cold as we eat late
