How's the environment in HELP?
How's the surrounding area like (eg. many internet cafes)?
How many in a class?
Are the lecturers good?

The academic results and university partners (none of those low-ranked ones) seem good.
I attended a seminar for excellence by the Psychology lecturer and the Law Olympiad organised by the Law Department. They were pretty interesting and I got a good impression of the college through these events.

I'm thinking of going to HELP for A-Levels. I want to hear first-hand opinions from current and past students.

Any sources for this? The website hasn't been updated. Not that I'm in doubt, just want to see an official source verifying this.

Both the twinning universities are not good. Uni of West England is ranked 65th in the UK as a whole and 37th for the subject. Uni of Staffordshire is 67th in the UK as a whole and 73rd for the subject.

Uni of West England is slightly better but both of them are bad. I'm from Disted and they seem proud of the Staffordshire twinning.
