"I really enjoyed being at Deeside College. I was a Sports Scholarship student and the support it gave me helped me concentrate on my training and my studies. The tutors help you a lot and the sporting facilities are some of the best in Wales. As a sports student, it's great to have an indoor and outdoor track on campus plus a fitness suite".
