Well I'm on the Manchester foundation right now- I didn't apply to anywhere in London because I couldn't afford the accommodation. I couldn't recommend it enough, I've just loved the experience. They give you so much advice to help you to develop and become independent. I've just been offered a place at Edinburgh college of art for the Painting BA course, 2nd year (roughly 20 places)- which is very competitive and most people get in the places they want to because the tutors know what each uni is looking for. They have a brand new art building and the facilities are great and we often have artists come in and give talks.
-feel free to ask me any specific questions
