Well done! :smile:

I was also wandering, I sent off my slip to confirm my place for Loughborough a while ago but haven't heard anything back. I'm not sure if I should have, but is there anyone who has received some sort of like.. acknowledgement letter?

Hi everyone, it's been really useful reading this thread! I have my Loughborough interview on the 19th March, working on the Kitchen sink at the moment :smile:

Glad to here there's no actual one on one interviews!
Just one question: For your kitchen sink drawings, did you just use graphite pencil on white? thanks

Thank you! I also have an interview for Wigan and Leigh for the foundation too! But I'm almost definitely going to go to Loughborough.

I thought it may be good to get to know some of you guys before we actually start the foundation :smile:

So if anyone wants to add me on facebook, my link is: [Mod note: facebook link removed, please use private messages to exchange contact details]

To all those with an interview, good luck and you'll be fine! I hope you all get in :smile:

hellloooooo i was just wondering whether or not you enjoyed the foundation? also how many people are on the course? and is it super hard to get on to? alsooooooo may be being really stooooooopid here but the foundation course itself is free right?
sorry i do have a few questions :P my interview thingy is on the 13th and im so so scared because i really really want to get in, loved loughborough when i visited :smile:

thanks if you do want to answer my bajillion questions ahah

I've enjoyed it so far and can't fault it. It's mainly down to personal preference though so obviously it's not to everyone's taste!

There's around 150 of us but usually about 600 apply
It's free if you're under 19 before you start (coming straight from a levels)

thanks so much for the reply... that was some speed :P
yeah from what ive seen and heard theres not a bad thing to be said about it :smile:

oh cool, so like a 1 in 4 chance of getting in i guess.. :/ oh sweet, thankyou yeah im coming straight from a levels but i had a last minute panic because obvs you cant get a loan for it so im having to pay for accommodation if i do get in :P
do you live in halls? and if so which ones and are they nice? alsoo one last question... night lif in loughborough... yay or nay? :P

True but the only necessities really are living costs and food if u aren't over 19 so its doable!

Yeah in halls. Depends on price.. if you check them out on the uni website you can get a general idea (nicer ones being holt, billmo, bakewell etc). They dont give u a huge choice to choose from- just depends on your budget tbh

best nightlife!

Is it a big step up from A level art? Or easier without the other subject pressure? Thanks!

I'd say foundation is less pressure than A levels provided you keep up with the work and don't miss days.. especially in stage 1. Wouldnt say it was a big step from A level :smile:
