College interviews tend to just be formalities, don't treat it like a job interview and consider it more of an introduction to your further education and those that'll be teaching you. Relax, wear whatever's comfortable and just e yourself!

college interviews are really relaxed, I went in leggings and a hoodie, my college has the attitude that everyone has a place on a course at the college and I think a lot are the same (excluding private colleges etc)

Relax. As Kyle said, it's an introduction not an interview. Seriously I turned up to a college interview with the worst migraine I've ever experienced and had to leave halfway through and I still got offered a place (didn't accept lol). Leggings and hoodie is perhaps underdoing it a little bit but black jeans and a jumper or whatever is absolutely fine. Clothing doesn't really matter but you might feel you stick out a bit compared to everyone else when you get there. All of mine were during my school day though so I just turned up in school uniform and that's what most people seemed to be wearing.

You don't need to prepare any answers to questions or anything, it's just so they can see what kind of person you are. If you want to prepare something it might be worth coming up with an alternative subject you would be willing to do there in case timetabling doesn't work out. And if you want to look really good, when they say "do you have any questions?" at the end you can always ask what kind of extra curricular activities they have to offer.

College staff have told me before its in their interest to have more people on the course because each person is equal to a stupid amount in funding, they want you to go there as much as you want to so chill

Don't get too worked up about it, usually they just ask for grades and interests, it's not really a interview!

True I'd echo this 100%

Just try to be yourself OP

A college internet?
Okay, so be yourself. They'll be used to people getting naturally nervous all the time, anxiety and things like that is common within teens. Be honest and open, be polite and somewhat proffesional. Smile when you talk, use your hands to accentuate your points. Try to be chatty. If you've got good grades and things like that it won't really matter anyway, because they want decent, academic people.

Might be different for you but colleges don't tend to have decent academic people, they get a lot more funding than sixth forms for accepting whoever. I'm a governor and the college gets more money in funding for those without GCSE's or any grades
