Why did you choose to come to study in East Norfolk

I chose East Norfolk College because there are many courses to choose from with a lot of variety that fascinated me. You can choose three courses with an extra course to help boost my CV called the ENhance program which includes DofE. Another large reason I chose this college is that my sister was already attending which is very logical to have me going to the same college as her, on top of it being a 5-10 minute drive away from my house.
