    BA (Hons) Creative Arts for Theatre & Film- UCA Rochester
    Hello!

    I'm new to The Student Room and it told me to create a new thread- so this is my thread

    Going to UCA Rochester This September to study Creative Arts for Theatre& Film. I'm particularly interested in special effects, though really looking forward to trying out a bit of everything. Is anyone else doing this course? and what are you interested in ? or anyone already on this course, any tips and bits you can tell us?

    Ah cool we are not alone

    I'm from Hampshire so I'm not too far from home, yourself?

    what kind of thing do you aspire to, in a way, like what made you want to do this? any particular film or production?

    Hello!

    A question for students already doing this course, will I need to be doing much video stuff with my laptop? just determining how much processing power I'm going to need

    Halls are rather expensive though, for some, former students? is there anything like a 'find a flatmate' day or something so you can find less expensive accommodation?

    I'm not sure either, it might be worth having a look on the uca facebook page though.
    Also I got a accommodation email today and have been offered a place!

    got some questions about the halls for students who have lived in them

    1. To double check is there actually a toilet in the en-suit bathroom?
    2. What laundry facilities are there?
    3. What's the wireless like? like can I stream video on it or would it be better for me to get a private connection?

    Sweet! I'll be doing this course too, and although costume design is what I'm looking forward to most, props and animatronics and basically everything looks exciting.

    I'm from Woking, Surrey so I haven't got too far to travel from, but I'll be staying in halls. As of yet, I've had no emails about my accommodation details, just one to confirm I have my place there.
