Hey
Okay well here it goes
I've got two offers for colleges
one here where i live in Milton keynes for my GCSE's
and one in central London for Creative media studies
the thing is tho what keeps playing on my mind is what happens if in a year or two years i dont want to become a film maker (not feature films) (dont hate) and then i will have to go back to basics and do my GCSEs.
But I really want to live in Central London and this is a great opportunity as its one of the best Colleges in London
What would you do?

I'd just say **** it and go for the College in Central London.
Almost everyone changes there mind about what career they would like.
Don't take my advice though, I'm getting an Electrical Engineering Apprenticeship :/

I would go with what you're comfortable with and think what you'll do best in. Then you'll feel confidence. All the best.

Go to London. Otherwise you will live with "What If" all your life.
"the thing is tho what keeps playing on my mind is what happens if in a year or two years i dont want to become a film maker (not feature films) (dont hate) and then i will have to go back to basics and do my GCSEs. "
Only you can control this.
Go to the college and work your arse off, do all the things you need to do, pass the course and work on small films and terrestrial documentaries, make your life your own, dont question it before its even begun!!

I'm not sure if it's anything like how our college system works, but see if you can talk to the London school about doing a year or so of basics at the GCSE's school and then transfer to the London shcool.
I think if I do go to school for a 4 year degree here, I'd start my first two years of basic stuff at a community college that transfers credits.

Milton keynes college is good, i studied construction management there.
I wouldn't be looking at 'living' in central London till you hit 20ish it's expensive... go college local get an apprenticeship/traineeship then when you complete it ask to see if they can move you over to a central London office.
