Anyone go to a college?

[Mirage]

Well? The title speaks for itself really.This most applies to those who have just left school in England. Bish! Bash! Bosh!

I go to Kingston College and I am studying a media "moving image" course.

I go to college! W00T!!! (Even if it technically doesn't apply to me since you specified 'in England')

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Yeah, I go to my local Sixth Form college. I'm in year 13, which is the second, and final, year. Hopefully I'll be going to University next year.

What are you studying and what will you be studying in uni?

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Uh, I'm hoping to study English Language with a part of my studies being in Creative Writing.

I be in college. I be doing an IT Practitioners Course. In that, I'd probably say my strengths lie in programming and web design.

Same year and college as Sophie, although very different subjects. Hoping to do Chemistry with a year of study in Japan or Forensics.

EDIT: Thought I'd put up a few things I found on our website.

You get bogwashed!

Ah, an old favourite to start with. There have been no recorded incidents of this happening in the past ten years, at least! Lower school and upper school have different toilets, so that helps. Most teachers would probably notice a small child with a very wet head wandering around - honestly!

If you don't do homework you get shut in the toilets.

It may surprise you, but teachers are quite normal people and they don't, generally, demonstrate odd habits like this one. There is no physical way for someone to lock another person in the toilets other than from the inside - so the only person likely to shut you in is you!

Mr Hartley walks behind you silently and makes you jump.

Again, this may surprise you, but Mr. Hartley has a school of over 2000 people to run and he really doesn't have time to go around creeping up on people. If he should happen to make you jump, I'm sure it will be purely accidental.

Horrid people in your class steal your homework sheet.

This one is hard to deny, after all, horrid people exist everywhere - including in school. However, you are all responsible for your behaviour and if someone in your class DOES have a strange desire to steal worksheets, it will be down to you to tell your teacher so that they can sort the problem out.

Is it true that you have to show an id card to be allowed to smoke in school?

The school is a no smoking site and students are not allowed to smoke, this includes walking to and from school while in uniform.

Has anyone been "bundled"?

Not to our knowledge, but we don't know everything!

Sometimes, I wonder what is going through people's minds when they ask these sorts of questions. Not only are you going to have a wet head if you get bogwashed, you're also going to smell quite a bit.
