Frequently Asked Questions

Drift Road can become busy during events, so we offer a couple of convenient drop-off options.

Students who may feel more comfortable can be dropped off directly at the main college car park. Alternatively, for a quicker and smoother arrival, many students choose to be dropped off a short walk away and enjoy an easy walk onto campus.

Both options are well-supported, so you can choose what works best for you.

Sport and Public Services students should be dropped off at Borderville Sports Centre.

The course really helped me shape the way I performed my music and gave me the platform to generate contacts in the industry. Both my lecturers installed the confidence in me to perform both in and out of College.
