The other staff in the college (the caretakers and canteen staff) are lovely too; Everyone makes you feel welcome. Social events are also held throughout the year for holidays like Halloween and Christmas to name a few – They are fun, and they give you an opportunity to meet and socialise with students who are studying other courses.
