Merton College - Morden

Raya

Probably one of the worst colleges in London. Teachers are never in, timetable was initially fine but after a long time of teacher absence they changed it and now its very inconvenient and they make us come in on the days we are supposed to have off to rest. Barely any help for exams and coursework, I have never felt this unprepared for exams in my life. I dread coming here every day and I don't know how I'll manage to finish my course, I contemplate dropping out all the time. The only good thing about it is that it's close to my home. Really regret picking this college.

Signed up last year for the guitar making and repair course, the teaching staff was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Sadly, machines broke down with 10 weeks to complete the course and was not repaired, this held back students in completing their class projects.

Also, tried to enroll again for this year but the enrollment opened late while I was in holiday, and I required to spread my tuition fees in installments. I partially completed the enrollment and exchanged emails with the admissions team stating that I would pay and complete the enrollment once I returned to the country. For my disappointment, when I was able to physically attend to the college, they had cancelled my enrollment and gave my spot to someone else, now the class is full. Returning students should be guaranteed a spot.

Currently studying here, if you enjoy working with zero help from any teachers then come join engineering. I hated my life significantly before attending and I can assure you that has not changed. Full of GMs and failures, teachers are a little too nice. Only came here because it was 10 minutes away.

Absolutely terrible. I've only been there for about 6 months and its absolutely disgusting. When people told me that in college no one cares about you I didn't believe them, but now i see what they mean and that they were right. Would give it a 0 if I could. Teachers don't even give you support you need. Absolutely nobody cares about you or your mental health (considering everything happening tight now). Would not recommend. A-levels are much harder (as most people probably know), but they are much more worth than what you get from this college. The support and all the help you will be getting is much more worth than what this college give you. Don't waste your time going there. Also canteen food is really expensive.#

literally 2 words to describe it: RACIST and NEGATIVITY from the head of Biology (teaches Applied science and health and social care) and carerr advice lady.

I'm doing the level 2 counselling course. The teaching is great & no complaints, but the facilities at the college are awful. Three toilets to use for a whole evening class, which on several occasions have been absolutely disgusting and not cleaned. There is no refreshments supplied or anywhere to get tea and coffee. It's not fit for purpose.

Attended here between 2013 - 2016 back when it was known as South Thames College. The course I studied (BTEC Travel & Tourism) was fantastic and the teachers were great too, however the college itself was terrible and was in disarray. This wasn't the safest college either as I remember a lot of students getting into crime and causing chaos here. Still, the three-year course I did was great, but I am disappointed that I never got to travel abroad while studying the course.

My clients very much enjoy Merton college. Always comes out with a big smile on his face. Teachers and TA's are great.

The students particularly the boys are going into the shops in morden and stealing food and drinks from companys that work extremely hard. I was a student at the college and it was the worst college that I have ever attended.
