Went to get a pedicure yesterday 1st class will definitely go back for more treatments

Using the games hall. Staff couldn't have been more helpful

Perth college has been great! Nearing the end of my two years here and so glad I came. The lecturers have such a depth of knowledge to share and will do anything they can to help people. The support staff are the same. The student association is active and welcoming. The place is always clean and things run smoothly. Everyone from lecturers to caretakers work hard and it shows!

Perth College has changed my life. The staff are great not just the lecturing staff but all the support staff, caretakers and most importantly the canteen staff.

My daughter Aiyrah started to go to the Perth college nursery from the age of 18months tmmr is her last day at nursery as she is away to start school.. I just want to say this is the best nursery ever hats off to all the staff who are so well trainned it's like a family I don't have enough words to thank all of them my daughter has had a fantastic time and will miss all the lovely staff..... I will give Perth college nursery 10 out of 10 best nursery best people ever thank you so much to all of you and Helen who is the head of the nursery u r doing a great job with running the nursery in the best way ever x

Loved my time at Perth College. Inspiring, supportive staff and excellent facilities. Would go back and do it all over again :)

I was only there for a netball tournament, but the sports facilities are brilliant 10/10

I recommend these place because I did my studies of English over there !! The time I went there, I was the only Colombian from Bogota that study over there!!! Also I did study over Dudley College but the level of English was not that good I wanted to learn the traditional English from Scotland !!! Now day I am trying to find my friends that I studied with them I hope they read these thanks Scotland God bless you!!! I love that country

I had a wonderful day yesterday and Monday teaching product knowledge in the Beauty Department for Eve Taylor London. As always the fantastic teaching staff and support staff looked after me. I had 2 great classes of students and I wish you all the best with the rest of your course!!

I enjoyed my year at college and will def visit i met wonderful people great atmosphere great place to learn new skills and all the friends i have i met them at college

I attended this college back in the fall of 2010 and man do I miss it! I was in the Visual Communications field as well. I can remember my time there as if it were yesterday! I wish my time there could've been longer. It was a blast over there and would recommend to anyone! Thank you all for such a wonderful experience!

Hi peeps, Uni life is awesome.



Study hard

Play hard

Party hard.



But how will you afford all this?



I can show you how to utilise Social Media to earn $5,000 plus a week.

Why wait till you graduate and then hope that you will land a job at the end.

Baby boomers are working into their 70's.

Companies only want to hire people with experience.



Social Media. We are all on it everyday, so why not make some extra cash on the side. Who knows, by the time you graduate, you may not even have to get a 9-5 job.

PM me if you would like more details!!

Currently doing HNC Music Business, I like the place because I can receive all the support that I need. My tutors are always helpful.

Brilliant catering department probably the best in Scotland got all my city-Guilds there while doing 4 yrs training at the Green Park hotel in Pitlochry great days

An exceptional facility, fantastic supportive tutors. Had a great well organised graduation although it was very busy therefore tickets did go fast. Everyone was allocated a ticket allowance fairly!! Have studied here now for 4 years and the only thing that would improve my experience in the college would be more study space. Fantastic new sports centre, I don't know why people are not happy.

A great college full of friendly, supportive and enthusiastic students and staff. The facilities are some of the best offered anywhere in Scotland, and the equipment is well maintained and respected by students. I would highly recommend any of the courses on offer from the Food Studies and Hospitality Department!

The sports & gym facilities are top notch

Any chance of finding out when the graduation video will be ready? Just that a couple of members of my family couldn't come due to tickets selling out fast, so only my fiancé and young daughter could come along. We were told not to take photos as a photographer will be present so stuck to the rules and didn't take pictures, however I wasn't in any of them so can't show those who were wanting to come along. Hoping the video can allow them to see my special day...

I spent four years at Perth College doing a Social Sciences degree. While the support from my department was brilliant all the way through, technical issues, poor resources and lack of any organisation within the College made those four years hell. To top it all off, graduation 2016 was a shambles. Poor information communication caused so many of us to lose the chance to have our loved ones at the ceremony while it appeared to be well attended by unnecessary guests. Complete and utter farce.
