Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
Worst is the limited contact time with professors. It feels really rushed which is unfortunate because there is so much to discover here and it becomes stressful when we feel like cattle who must be rushed in and out.
The university itself is fantastic though. It’s incredibly inspiring to walk through the workshops, lecture halls, and library- it feels like you’re in the center of the world. Everything is state of the art and the staff is phenomenal. I just wish they cut less corners in terms of students’ ability to engage with it all.

There is no internship which is really unfortunate because there used to be in the past. The course material is structured very well though, and the people they bring in to speak to us from the industry are interesting and inspiring. The group exhibition is shaping up to be instrumental in our careers so it’s very exciting to put everything we’ve learned into practice.
