I know that September is the main intake and that January is less popular but I'm just wondering about the various pros and cons eg January being smaller does it affect any social aspects at college, are there smaller class sizes and does it in any way affect sea phases or placements? I would take a September place if offered but think it may be January at this stage, but if I was given a choice would one stand out over another? Thanks

For Engine side in WMA, being in the September intake means that all of your college time, Phases 1, 3 and 5 are over winter. Which does lead to higher heating bills in Phases 3 and 5. (Something to consider)
However, this does mean that your sea trips are in the Summer, obviously weather conditions varying around the world.Forum Admin

September is the larger group mainly due to most people coming from education will finish whatever there doing previously in June / July :-)
There's no real difference although potentially you may have a smaller class in January group which could be beneficial?Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn?t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.?
