Newport University Applicants 2012

Did a lot of people on your course go to Opal? I was told by one of the lecturers that most first years in film go there.

*cough* is a currently Documentary Film student living in Caerleon who doesn't mind the commute to city campus *cough*

how are you enjoying the course? will be firming it pretty soon once i've picked my insurance

The course seems brilliant, and chris (who interviewed me) is absolutely fantastic too my only worries are the town itself to be honest.

Has anyone applied to Animation? I have my interview on wednesday

I got an offer for Newport Film and Video, which I've firmed so excited can't wait!

I have an offer for Documentary Photography at Newport too. Although I'm not from a big city or anything, the course just looks so good I think I'd go wherever it was! And anyway, Bristol and Cardiff are only 20 minutes away and you could probably get to London or Birmingham in less than two hours.

Either way I really loved the Caerleon campus when I went for an open day and then again for my interview and I'm so glad they gave me an offer

Well I firmed Documentary Film and Television (240 Points) and have Film and Television Production as my Insurance at Portsmouth (160 Points)

Hello,

I haven't found very many forums about Newport Uni so I thought I would create one for this year's applicants.
What are you applying for? Have you had interviews/got offers yet?
I have just been to a interview for Film and Video yesterday. I really hope I get an offer because it is such a good course. I was wondering if anyone else applying for a course at the City Campus has thought about accommodation. I was told that a lot of people go into Opal but honestly I love the Caerleon Campus and would like to stay there and commute in to the City Campus.
What accommodation do you guys prefer?
I didn't get much chance to explore Newport so would love to hear about the area and the student life.

If you were going to stay in Caerleon then there's a bus stop near the accommodation that takes you straight to Newport Bus Station, then a 2min walk to the city campus. I think Caerleon would be a nicer place to stay because it's a bit quieter than town centre.

It's not too bad in Newport, there's lots of pubs and clubs in town centre if that's your thing (Meze, 6FU, Escapade, Fire and Ice). Lots of the shops have started to close down in town though due to most people going to Spytty retail park, Cardiff, Cwmbran etc to do their shopping.
