Experience in Plantijn College, Belgium by Kelly

Generally, what is Plantijn College like?

It's like any other college. The infrastructure is good and modern, and the teachers I had where very good in teaching in a nice and comprehensible way. The quality of the teachers is amazing and they really want you to pass your tests and exams, you won't feel like a nummer in AP College.

What are the facilities like?

All facilities you need are provided.

What are the tutors like?

They are amazing, at least the ones I had. They are more than just teachers, they are like philosephers who really want you to learn and experience new things and give you all the information you need - not always, just for you to experience and find Out how to cope with things and find solutions yourself. Nothing but positive for the tutors!

Are the lessons easy in Plantijn College?

That is difficult to say. Looking back at my study carreer at Plantijn, I feel like it was rather easy. But that's only because I completed it successfully. At the time it was hard and not always easy and of course it depends On the course. So I would say that sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not. The key is not to give up and try to manage what comes your way.

Does the University organise activities? If so, what are they like?

I'm sure they did, but I never participated so I'm not the right person to give a clear image about them.

Do you think there is a good quality of teaching?

The quality of teaching is- in my opinion- very good. Of course it depends On the teacher you get as well, but almost every teacher I had during my 3 year education at Plantijn had it's own way of teaching but all of them were open to discuss how we would like to learn things and there was definitely room for giving our opinion on certain things.

Are there any stories you can share?

I don't really have a story to share, but I really want to say that what I really can recommend to the school is that it is good that het work with teachers who were self employed, because they contribute a lot to their students' by giving real information and sharing their own experiences, which makes it more interesting to learn.
