Why Cardonald?
Former students' comments...
Sandra: I can't believe I'm in third year now. I still walk through the University gates everyday and wonder how I got here! Ha Ha! ... so I guess the lecturers at Cardonald College did something right!
Michelle: I still think back to my days at Cardonald College as I really enjoyed my time there. I was doing the Access course to gain a place to Occupational Therapy. I'm pleased to let you know that everything went well, after a lot of hard work. Now (many more grey hairs later!) I am a senior Occupational Therapist.
