Welcome back to the official student blog of Waltham Forest College. We are here blogging again for the new Academic Year of 2007 to 2008.
Although the college's Enrolment officially commenced on Saturday, staff have had the pleasure of meeting potential new students for a while, as they started coming in during the middle of last week.
Compared to previous years, the college has altered the layout with Course Tutors and information being dealt with in the hall, and then funding and other registration issues being dealt with in both the main Student Services office and also the Mallinson restaurant.
For newbies the college can seem a bit confusing, especially as the prestigious and historic steps in the front bring people into the Main Reception area on the second floor, not the ground floor! When you want to leave you have to remember to head for the second floor.
However, finding a room is quite easy with following tips from old timers:-
Firstly, rooms are numbered with three digits, like, for example, room 123. The first digit, in this case the '1', indicates the floor you need to be on, the first floor (It's '0' for the ground floor).
Then, it helps to know that rooms are numbered in such a way that if you walk down a corridor, as you pass the rooms on your left, they will always be going up in number. The rooms on your right will always be going down in number. Confused? No, honestly, it does make sense once you've sussed it. Just keep walking down the corridor counting the room numbers steadily going up (to your left) or going down (to your right) until you get to the room number you want.
Anyway, hopefully not too many potential students will be lost forever in the maze, and we can look forward to seeing them as fellow students from next week.
