Also6th form rules i hate, the uniform, not alot of study leave, but i jjust dont know what to do

If you're sure that public relations will be you forever and you'll love it - go for the college, you'll get where you want to be quicker. If you have doubts at all - go for the sixth form, because at the end of the day you'll be much better placed should you want to change your career path.
I have back up plans, like if i decide i dont want debt i can go to my local uni and do tourism or nursing for around 160-200 ucas points.
Do college students get really bad results or something? Im only aiming for Cs and i think my 3 subjects (media, communications, sociology) are some of the easiet around.
The 6th form only offer sociology, and its 2 years of my life, its a risk and i dislike some of the people in my year. But having a better education Sticks out like a sore thumb .
I'd be really inclined to go for sixth form even if you do dislike some of the people in your year - there's no risk in covering all your bases, and seriously - another 2 years with no responsibility - i'd take it now! So what if you do dislike some people - no-one's forcing you to spend any time with them if you don't want to. You'll probably end up disliking some people at college too - you can't love everyone!
Which is a really stupid reason NOT to go to 6th form... :rolleyes: Whose to say that everyone in your year will stay on? And you'll probably get people from other schools joining 6th form where you are now as well, I found this. I also hated some of the people in my year but it didn't stop me from thinking about whether I wanted to stay on or not...
id rather study courses i wnt to do , than maybe have better teaching and closer communications with the teachers at 6th form but hate the subject and lose intrest.
ive done a yr of 6th form and not hated it but do not like it very much. i still have 3-4 months, but im keeping my options open and applying for both.
Also because im doing gcse's im treated very differently than last yr, in two of my subjects i have had to do all the work on my own, in maths our books are never checked and ict i did get help. Im prepared for either, i just need to think some more. x
