CSM or Goldsmiths?

i’ve applied for both the curating course at goldsmiths and the culture criticism and curation course at CSM, i’ve got an unconditional from goldsmiths and an offer from CSM too. but i’m honestly not sure what i should go for, i’m just wondering how the two unis vary in terms of academic pressure, career opportunities and social life? thank you !
Have you visited each of them?

i applied for culture criticism and curation which i heard back from but i also applied to fine art too, i think you’ll just have to wait longer for the more popular courses!

i visited csm a few days ago and was like totally intimidated, i’m going to goldsmiths next week. i think it’s the location of the csm campus that is so off putting i understand it’s london and you’ll get that everywhere but im autistic so a campus smack bang in the middle of london is too much

Sounds like a useful visit! Don’t dismiss your instincts - you need to find a university and course where YOU will thrive and be able to build your skills knowledge and experience…putting yourself in a situation where you think you may be unhappy or uncomfortable is setting yourself up for failure (even if you manage to slog through the degree you won’t be able to properly take advantage of the opportunities available to you if you’re unhappy)
