The College I Go To
The college I go to was founded in 1970 and since that time it has
grown significantly. Now it offers a wide range of academic courses,
enabling students to be successful in the current job market.
The academic activity is conducted across five departments.
There are about 1,500 full-time students attending college. The
correspondence and distance learning programmes specifically
tailored to the needs of those who work are also available.
The college is justifiably proud of its teaching. More than
80 teachers work at it. The college trains students for employment
in middle-level occupations such as clerks, accountants, managers,
preschool and primary school teachers and others.
There are a lot of laboratories at the college. They are fitted with
up-to-date equipment and instruments to provide a high level of
training. They are of great help to the students.
The college library provides the students with access to thousands
of learning resources in print and online. They can borrow course
books, manuals and literature on the subjects they are interested in.
There are some reading rooms suited to different styles of learning.
The students of all abilities, from complete beginners to athletes,
make the most of the college sports facilities including a few large
well-equipped gyms, sports grounds, and a swimming pool.
The students studying away from home are accommodated in
the hall of residence located on the college campus. The students
can organise most of their day-to-day needs without leaving the
campus which also includes the library, the academic buildings and
the canteen.
The academic year runs from September to June, and it is
divided into two terms. The duration of the academic programmes
is four years, following the completion of basic general education
(nine years), or two years, following the completion of secondary
(complete) general education.
According to the college curriculum the students have lessons in
general and special subjects in addition to practical training, quite

College Facilities
The college I attend is one of the best colleges in the region,
providing excellent full-time and correspondence courses. The
college has first class facilities, and the students enjoy learning here,
thanks to our inspirational teachers, great courses and modern
learning areas.
The college has 30 general classrooms in addition to language
laboratories and workshops. They are all well equipped with up-to-
date equipment. Each classroom has a computer with the Internet
access and a data projector. The college also has three science
laboratories, two fully equipped computer rooms, a multimedia
room and a demonstration room.
The library is central and common to all the academic activities
of the college. It provides a place to study, materials for study and
services to assist study. It has a wide selection of general reading
materials for students of all ages. There are also books and journals
for those involved in project work.
Physical education facilities include a large gym, some changing
rooms, a basketball court, a sports ground and a swimming pool.
Sports clubs and societies make up a large part of the college
recreational and social activity.
The college has a modern canteen where breakfast and lunch are
served every day. It is a large spacious area, with a view of greenery
all around, and a variety of refreshments and meals available. It
tends to be the most popular place on campus not only for having
meals but also for student discussions and work on assignments and
projects.
There are two halls of residence, which can accommodate
students with all the facilities for study, recreation and common
living. The rooms are all meant for two or three occupants each.
The college is a non-smoking campus and smoking is not
permitted anywhere on the sites. To safeguard the health of all
students and staff, smoking is strongly discouraged.
