Hi, Iām doing fine art at csm so I can tell you about the general vibe and fine art but not animation unfortunately, I think csm I first found it pretentious, a lot of people think theyāre the bees knees and their the next Gucci but I have grown to feel more comfortable and settle down. Still there is undoubtedly an air of intimidation and arrogance for me personally still. However there is a very good freedom of expression and you can present yourself however you want which is great. Fine art is shockingly bad and Iām probably going to drop out, thereās no structure or teaching and I barely see my tutors, my only instruction is to āmake artā which is great besides thereās no studio space and no help if I need it for a self motivated project. I feel like UAL ,in my own personal experience, has been made into a business more facilitating the needs of their pockets instead of the students, There is my very honest opinion. Sorry I ranted, Hope this helps.X
