I've been to the open day and to my interview and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. I hope you're middle class, Southern and studying at a Brighton or London college because the first thing they ask you is where you're studying (and if it's not in Brighton or London you'll probably see the same face they pulled at me ...disgusted) and then questions about class hidden in design or pop culture questions.
They're being very critical and harsh in their decisions, it's all about whether you're the right kind of person who'll make them look good by your pedigree rather than you work. They don't look at the work that much.
If you're appyling then I really don't want to put you off, it is an experience just going through the process and you get to see how difficult it can be and it'll set you up for other interviews in the future.
-Best of luck for the future

Rubbish. I think brighton is a place where you are least likely to be judged, academically or otherwise. I think the staff and people in brighton generally are accepting of everyone regardless of who you are of where you're from. Also you might get some looks when you tell people you might be going to brighton but dont let that affect you decision. i've been here nearly two years and i can honestly say it isnt overly gay. Brighton is a great town. Good music, good clubs, good atmosphere

interview was for graphic design course? and who was interviewer?
I am at brighton uni, it is a great place to study. bluebellegraphic is completely wrong, it doesn't matter who you are, or where you are from or anything, they are not at all judgemental, it is a good place to study, and a good place for nightlife too, whatever your taste.
anyone know if the communications and media course is good?
oh and are only 37% of the students male?!

People may disagree but they haven't gone through what I and other Northern people have gone through who've applied there. I'm not saying that the whole university is like that, I will take that back, but I am saying that the arts department will judge you on your pedigree and not your work. In fact they hardly looked at mine and I have it on good authority that I was good enough. I've spoken to about 20 people from Northern towns who've applied and they've all had exactly the same experience as I. I've talked to Southern people who've applied and they were treated completely different.
The people who are supporting Brighton are A OK, they're in, and they have nothing to worry about and probably didn’t have to go through the same kind of interview that I -and the other 20- had to go through.
It's not just Brighton; a lot of Southern schools don't think you're good enough just because you talk with a certain accent. The fact that you've put blood, sweat and tears into your work is most of the time sidelined.
I've spoken to so many people and there is a lot of angry feelings and overwhelming disappointment because of all-round rejections from Southern Universities (esp. Brighton).

Thats not necessarily true... The course i applied to had over 160 applicants to interview, with only 30 places on the course. Someone has to be rejected along the lines. ( I am not aiming that specifically at you btw!) In a way I am glad I have been, because i don't think i am what they are after atall now. My work is of a very different style to the current students. Yet, it took the interview to see that they don't want realistic and representational work. I would have really struggled on the course to try and change my style to suit them.
Hey,
I am going there in september 2007 as accepted it as my firm. I am from Derby in midlands and on my first opinion I thought it was a really nice university with a good atmosphere and in a great city. Has anyone goty any other more things they could tell me about, e.g. nightlife, sports???
Thanks,
BB

okay, brighton night life is best in the country, bar none, whatever your tastes. the university has sports clubs, and its own gym facilities. i don't know too much about that side of it though.
the people are really great there though, the sort of people who are attracted to brighton uni are pretty much all lively, friendly, and make it a really good place to be.

It's really down to the person but my ex is in Brighton and he loves it, my current boyfriend is in Lincoln and he hates it. Brighton have a better reputation and it's a much ncier city. Lincoln is all new and flash but the teachers and the facilities are shoddy. And it's also heaven's waiting room from waht I saw. I hope you make the chocie that's right for you =)

That's a cool comment Jessica. I agree, I don't think my face would have fitted on the course at all because I don't think they would have been too happy about some of the ideas that I would have wanted to persue. As they said, some of my ideas were a bit too weird for them so that's fair enough. Also, I just don't think I would have gotten on with the other students. I was milling around and talking to loads of people on the open day and even though the rooms and the actual course seemed alright, the people that they choose aren't really my kind of people (bit pretentious) so I'm happier persuing something else. I wish you the best of luck in what you persue and nevermind because I'm sure we'll have a great time whichever uni we go to
well this ismy second year of applying to uni...did start huddersfield in september but its just too close tomy home town of bradford!! anyways brighton.iv appled there this year and got an unconditional offer from them..im not really certain yet but isit true about the male population?? thats not good! lol! also im a true northern girl with the accent to match so i hope people dont look down on me down there because of that!! lol brighton seems like a lovely place to study and id love to live so close to the beach!! haha xx
