Too new?

When I attended Pearson, it was relatively new and small. This meant that you could build good relationships with staff and tutors and be able to access any help you needed easily. However, despite how new the business school was, any criticism such as the course structure was unwelcome and always argued with. As each year passed the number of new students in each year increased significantly which caused problems with access to both tutors and quiet study spaces as they only had 2 floors and a basement which was shared with Pearson staff. As for the tutors, I received lectures and seminars from some amazing people who were extremely knowledgeable in accounting and made it so much easier to understand. However, being such a new school they hired tutors who they eventually found out - too late might I add - did not fit the role. Nothing was put in place to help rectify the fact that students had received sub-par teaching. Before attending Pearson College, they bragged about their business workshops and connections. Throughout my time at Pearson, I soon discovered that these workshops were few and far between but more importantly, they were often unrelated to my course or fully booked. One highlight is the fact that they added an office space for a start-up business to work and students were able to gain some experience working with them. Moving onto the facilities of the college, there's really not much to talk about. There's limited space at the campus, especially with the growing number of students. There used to be quiet study rooms for students but they were then taken and used as offices for the growing number of staff. Understandably they need office space but it's very hard to study without quiet spaces such as a library. Lastly, the degrees are validated by the University of Kent which although it gives you faith in the programme you are studying, you are faced with extended wait times for results compared to other universities which is especially frustrating in your final year.
