How and why did you decide which subjects to study?

Biology and Chemistry felt like a natural choice, given my plan to study Medicine at university and I thought Psychology would be a nice complement, given that it’s more of a Social Science and an area I wanted to learn more about.

How did you find the move from school to College?

Although there was a clear increase in the volume of work, when compared to school, overall, I found the transition very smooth. The teachers were all very supportive in allowing time for us to adjust to the new workload. Meeting people who had similar interests to me in my classes made the whole process much more enjoyable.

Tell us about any College activities you’ve been involved in outside lessons.

In the Lower Sixth I joined the Medics, Vets and Dentists (MVD) Society where I could meet like-minded people with ambitions to follow a similar career path to me. Through the programme I have received brilliant support in my application for Medicine.

What do you think makes Reigate College good place to be a student?

I think staff have a good understanding of the difficulties we might face throughout our time at College and there are well established support systems in place that are made very accessible to all students.
