Slade School of Fine Art Application Advice

Original post by Artfanatic

I know! It will be tough if I do get in as it's a fairly competitive course. I don't know really.

I feel like part of me is looking for the course and part of me is looking for the place and just the general feel. (then the other part of me is considering architecture D: )

SAME! I;ve also applied to Edinburgh. The places I applied to were like yours, torn between feel, reputation, architecture and location. I chose Edin over Glasgow largely because Glasgow is THE rainiest city in the UK (quite an achievement given Lancaster's downpour) and i think that might affect me. The art history bit sounds soooo good (love the subject) you actually have a sort of academic vibe going on which I think Art should have. I am weary of the distance from London tho. but then again there's the highlands, lowlands, Berwick'pon-tweed etc to explore which sounds sik

Sadly I just enjoy structure and those were the courses I applied to. I have lived in a country town all my life so even Edinburgh will come a shock to the system - just every time I have visited London I have enjoyed it so much with all the diversity and things to occupy yourself with. Good luck to you!

I had this horrid dream that on the 10th I got an email saying that I had an interview, but the email somehow arrived late. Then I read it closely and it said it was for the 9th! And I called up saying oh my gosh, it isn't my fault. I didn't mean to miss it. And they said they couldn't reschedule me and I was now rejected. And then I was eaten by a bear.... :-(
worlds worst dream

I'm not sure, I was trapped inside some sliding doors and I was drowning and I escaped and then a bear somehow ate me. But I was still alive. It was all so confusing.
Also there was fireworks

Haha yes I am also in your delusional camp. Without particularly good reason. We'll probably be the ones getting kicked in the balls :wink:
