“I am Sinneh Gibrilla Koroma, a BSc IT student of BlueCrest College Sierra Leone. From my high school years, BlueCrest College has always being my dream college and I work towards getting the requirements to study BSc IT at BlueCrest College. After my WASSCE result was out I applied and go through the admission process and I was accepted to study BSc IT. It was a Dream come true.
"Waking up in the morning for lectures is not easy but when I think of the knowledge I am going to get it gives me the urge to get up and ready for class. The institution and the faculty members kept up the spirit. Lectures are delivered online and offline. The student teacher relationship is very good. I can recall I was doing a project which I got 100% support from my tutors.
