Hey guys!

I just have a little question as Im undecisive at the moment. I have been accepted to both Falmouth and Newport University. However I cant seem to decide to which I should go to.

So where would you go and why?

thanks


Depends on the course really, Newport has an awesome reputation for documentary & a pretty decent one for Photographic Art... & given that I didn't apply to Falmouth but I do have a place at Newport, I'd go for that :wink: entirely unhelpful I know :L it depends on what you're looking for - the style of teaching, reputation, course content, location etc etc. have a made lists of pros & cons for each? That helps me :smile:

I'll give the Falmouth side

Amazing facilities for everything - studios , machine processing for film, Nikon affiliated
Purpose built Photography Centre
Great Reputation for Photography.

only problem is that the campus is nowhere near town but you can get the bus for like 60p .

Ask me anything else you want to know.

Conditional offer from Nottingham Trent!!
Help!!
Basically, I've got unconditional offers from Middlesex and London College of Communication, both for BA Photography. I honestly didn't think I had a place at LCC, as the interview didn't go that well, but now I don't know what to do. I loved the campus and the atmosphere of Middlesex and the people seemed friendlier, and the only reason I'm confused is because LCC has such an amazing reputation am I turning down a massive opportunity if I then don't take the place? In the interviewing process LCC made a massive deal about how even getting as far as an interview is incredible and how prestigious and important it is as a Uni, any advice from anyone would be helpful!

I know someone who went to Derby, he seemed to like it... If by Leicester you mean DMU's Photography & Video, I go see their degree show every year. Some nice stuff :smile:

I applied for 2nd, but I was considered/have a place for 1st. I don't have a foundation so I'm not surprised! Did you go to any of the applicant days?

I'm on my way to Brighton for my last interview 8) don't actually need this one though. :biggrin:

Yeah i live in Enfield, Middlesex, but It would be a pain to travel 2 times a day. I want to get into halls but they consider people living in London last :frown: so I'm thinking I might try look for a house to share, what about you?

I applied for second and was considered for first too, this has made me so anxious. They've never changed my ucas to 1st year entry, did they update yours at all before your offer?
