Don't be mislead by the title when I say college I mean 14 to 15 year olds, year 10's and also commonly known in America as freshmen.

I have been at my current school for around 8 or 9 weeks now and let me tell you something, I was dreading it. I hated it before I even got there and I absolutely didn't want to (I also particularity don't like the older years in the school). But let me tell you something, I don't hate it, but I (obviously) don't love it. Because I am in a quite old building (my parents went to the exact same school) you have to go through classrooms to get to other classrooms, there is a small amount of space in the school which you can eat your lunch and the corridors are absolutely terrible. Going back to the main point though, I don't hate it.

Let me give you a few tips which may (or may not) be helpful to you:

• The Post 16 (A level) students aren't that fussed about the younger years, they don't hate or love you, you don't hate or love them, simple. They also need to concentrate on their A levels which are extremely difficult.
• The year 11's (sophmore's?) are the ones which aren't as nice, they are load and boisterous seeing as they are not at the bottom of the food chain any more, I find it best to stay out of their way.
• Don't get in the way of people. This is plain and simple.
• Walk as fast as you can down the corridors, no one likes a slow walker especially when you need to get somewhere.
• Don't laugh or scream too loud. This has happened to me and my friends many times because we are all quit hyperactive and very loud we got glared at my multiple people during the time span of an hour.
• Sit outside as much as possible. It was only recently that we had to eat lunch inside because it was that damp and cold out side but the main reason we sat outside was to stay out of the way of older years and so we can be as loud as we want.
