Northbrook College

"Absolutely horrible. While i was here for 2 years my course went through multiple teachers in multiple departments and then the following year the school structure changed and i had completely new teachers as well. As a computer based course the software rarely worked and took months to get fixed, and when it did work it ran so slowly that nothing could be done. I joined my specific course because i had a passion for it beforehand and already had learned how to do stuff in the course when i was 14 out of passion. This course taught nothing extra and the stuff we were taught i learned when i was 14 in minutes. This destroyed my passion for this and although i cant say i wont not do it in the future, this course actively made me not want to make it into a career. Do not go here!"

"the restaurant is amazing, great food at cheap prices"

"Pretty smart place. Fashion, music, theatre and art courses. With fabulous facilities too. The music facilities must be the best in the country."

"I was on the BA Theatre Arts course at this college, the college itself is in a dire amount of debt! This comes across into the classroom quite blatantly. Students who are failing rather than being reprimanded or expelled are still allowed to collaborate with the other students bringing down the overall grades and learning experience for others due to the university trying to keep as many students as they can out of necessity for funding! Not to mention that a theatre arts course during the 1st and 2nd year of the university basically became a film making course due to covid-19 and the university had the audacity to say that we as students do not deserve a refund due to the quality of education that we received staying the same. The poor lecturers are stretched so thin due to funding that they pay out of work actors to come give lectures and workshops to the BA students because they have those tired lecturers teaching 1st, 2nd and 3rd year BA classes as well as overseeing the college courses as well. Please unless you want to go for production arts, music or game design . . . do not join this college. It is a sinking ship with CEO’s changing all the time. You cannot make a complaint up the chain of command because no one knows who is in charge anymore. I am sure this used to be a good college 7 years ago but now it is nothing but a festering corpse with a band aid passing for an education. Would give 0-5 if I could!"

"My daughter had an audition here. The tutors were great. Very friendly. The students I saw seemed very happy. My daughter was impressed with the course they were offering. Food in the canteen was OK. Reasonably priced."
