On completion of the course, I hope to go to university to study Computer Systems and Software Engineering.

I applied to John Ruskin College because it is a good college and I felt like I was most likely to pass my course here.

The things I have enjoyed most about the college are that the teachers are very helpful and the students are very friendly. There are a variety of facilities available for researching and completing work.
