Which sixth-form college should i go to?
This is a two way tie between: Barton Peveril (Eastleigh) and Peter Symonds (Winchester). Hello, I'm currently studying at Toynbee in Chandlers ford and living in Southampton. Im planning to take: English lang, Law, History (late), and critical thinking at AS level; most likely will drop Critical thinking at A2. I am hoping to get into Law, particularly military or criminal law. However im now stuck between either going to Symonds or Barton. Barton is a good college, I know this... However Symonds is one of the best. The only problem is, I live in Shirley - college starts at 8:30, this will mean getting up at an unwelcome time every morning to catch the train. So the question I am asking is, will going to Peter Symonds with its fearsome reputation, give me that little bit of an edge when applying to the "better" universities. Or should i settle for a decent college, where i will know lots of people and not be burdened with having to get up as early to travel?

Answer 1 :
Don't go to 6th form. I went and left after the first year, along with 10 other people. My girlfriend went to a different 6th form and hated every second of it. 6th form teachers give up on you if your not on track for an A* and focus all their attention on the students who are. Go to 6th form if you want 2 more years of school, if you want to go to college... go to a college.

Hello. I faced a similar problem, but I was torn between Brockenhurst and Barton Peveril. I ended up going to Brock because it is pretty much the same quality as BP, but closer to where I live. It really depends on your preferences: yes, Peter Symonds' reputation is very good, and will be good to put on your Personal Statement/CV. However, it has quite an old campus and as you say, is in Winchester. Barton Peveril is still a great college and very nearby (considering the comparison). It is a very modern campus, and will probably have a better student life. At the end of the day, it's up to what you prefer, and what the best college is for your courses. If that is Symonds, then I guess you'll have to get up early for the train. Sorry I couldn't help more. (By the way, I did AS Critical Thinking in Year 11
