getting there and away
Penwith College can be reached by a number of public bus operators who will drop you at College before the day starts at 9.15am and pick you up at the end of the day after 4.15pm.
More details about the bus pass scheme, bus routes and timetables can be found on our transport page.
Free car parking is available at the Penwith campus but students must apply for a permit and conditions do apply.
Students are encouraged to take the healthy choice where possible and walk or cycle to College. The campus has cycle storage and showers for students to use.
I think what makes Penwith College so special is its sense of community. I became friends with my lecturers and met new people who I still keep in touch with.
