making friends perhaps?

i'm going to be attending the university of leeds starting this september and was wondering if anyone is interested in being friends? i'm doing graphic design but idk how popular the course is so it doesn't matter what course you're on! i'll also be commuting so i don't want it to be difficult to talk to people because of that

How are u liking the course? I’ve hard it’s too academic (more theory and less actual practice in making designs and projects).

i don't think its AS academically focused as people make it out to be, there's a decent balance between practical creative work and academic work, and there's definitely not any formal exams or anything of the sort, the most academic thing i have this year is an essay for a design history course. we get a big project over each semester to work on throughout the term, and little 'minibriefs' to develop style and technique every week, which i enjoy! and the time table is pretty lightweight too which is nice

Last question hehe
So does your timetable consist of lectures and studio based classes?

yep, both lectures and workshops (practical classes)! this semester i have 5 hours of workshops over two days and 3 hours of lecture, as well as 1 seminar (each week) but it might change depending on how they decide to structure it next year, and also whichever optional module you pick! and i'm glad to have helped you, good luck on the exams!
