Why I picked to come to EN

I chose to come to EN because when I came for open days, all of the staff who I met and spoke to were all very welcoming and easy to talk to. They also explained about all of the courses in detail and were answer any questions which I had. I also liked the college itself as it seemed like a nice place to be and felt like it would be a happy and safe environment to study at.
