Hi @_.chaya._

Great to hear you are thinking of Kingston!

A great question asked by the previous response, have you visited them and been to open days? Personally this really helped me make a decision and develop my own pros and cons list. It is a great chance to get a feel for the university as to what it might be like to live and study there, see the facilities and speak to current students and lectures. There is an open day at Kingston this Saturday! But don't worry if you can't make it as there are more throughout the year Open Days and events | Kingston University London

I don't personally study Fashion Design here at Kingston but I do study Fashion Promotion and Communication and so I do have some knowledge on the department. You will be based at at Knights Park, which has a collaborative atmosphere there is a river running alongside the campus which creates a nice outdoor social space, as well as the student bar being based there and a great library. There are also a range of workshops that any course can access like printmaking, wood work and ceramics as well as the photography and film studios, so you can really mix mediums.

One of the other reps studies Fashion Design here at Kingston so I will leave a link to a few post they have done about the course:
A Week in the Life of Kingston Fashion Student - The Student Room
Life as a Student in Kingston University’s BA Fashion Course - The Student Room
An insight into Lv6 helping at the end of the semester! - The Student Room

I have also done some other post that might help you make a decision:

I hope this is useful and if you have any questions I am happy to answer :smile:
