(Fine Art BA) Offers from Glasgow School of Art, Chelsea College of Art (UAL), an

To start with, I’m an international student. I was really interested in the Glasgow curriculum and it was my first choice…(Sculpture and Environmental Arts) but I did hear career opportunities are a bit better at UAL and I guess the recognition.? And rankings..? And the Edinburgh option is tempting because it is part of the actual uni and I feel it might be easier to veer off into a more academic career like later on. I really don’t know what to pick; the UAL option would also be the easiest in terms of meeting the conditions, but I also don’t want to make my decision based purely off of that. I’m OK in the financial aspect. I don’t really know what I’m going to do after uni but I just really wanted to major in fine arts. Kind of a rash decision, but I’d like to pick the best institution for it. Also the social environment is kinda important; I would prefer idk something where there is some kind of community among the students..? Not like Greek life **** but yk.
