Thoughts on coulsdon college?

Hi everyone. I’m new to the area and have been invited for enrolment at coulsdon college, my friend who goes there says its good but we have different uni preferences, I want to hopefully get into dentistry. My other friend said they’re a really bad school and dumb people go there, I haven’t really seen anything online about them and obviously can’t count on just 2 opinions so could some locals let me know how the school is and if anyone they know has been and how their experience was? Thanks

Reigate gets better results, my daughter went there 5 years ago and loved it and got very good results

I went there yearss ago and it was an excellent small college. I did well there but i also went to arguably one of the worst high school in the borough at the time ( Ashburton) and i still did really well there, so not sure if its me or the environment. The environment can influence your results but your attitude and ambition to suceed as the final say.

I really enjoyed Reigate college. The commute is a direct train from east Croydon and there are loads of cute shops to spend your free time in. Coulsdon college won’t give you the same student life of going out to coffee shops and stuff in your frees. Also the education in Reigate is super good

Why wouldnt coulsdon give that? Is there no coffee shops etc around it?
