Why I chose EN:
I personally chose to go to East Norfolk Sixth Form, partly due to the fact that a lot of the people I already knew were also going here, but also because of the media and film courses that I knew were running at the college which I was very interested in, plus the fact that I was about to live relatively close to the campus as well.
