What to do for Uni.

I’m currently stuck between taking an Art direction course at UAL or a Graphic design course at the Uni of Leeds.

The course at UAL really inspires me but I’ve heard some bad things about UAL in general. I also crave a good social life which I’ve heard is very different in London Unis.

Leeds on the other hand will give me that stereotypical Uni experience I’m looking for but the course doesn’t excite me as much.

I was wondering if there are any UAL students who could tell me their Uni experiences and what their social life and routine looks like.

Leeds is a brilliant city, costs less and not a toxic sausage factory like UAL

Or if you're set on Art Direction why not see if you could do it at another university instead of UAL? There's a bunch of creative direction/art direction degrees available on UCAS Extra that would let you have the best of both worlds
