It’s nice that it provides a very supporting and welcoming environment for artist from all around the world to get to create art together. The community is very friendly and the resources available are abundant. The students here usually have very diverse backgrounds and experiences so getting to meet them here is very nice and eye opening. I like how people are usually very open minded and kind.

The course was generally very nicely designed, with nice and well informed lecturer, we were also given a lot of creative freedom to do what we want and never will someone criticise our art for the sake of it. Constructive advice were always given and a lot of support work for and when you want to make a work in a certain way. If you have a question, they are always very glad to answer. The facilities were always Open and available for us to use when we book, and we would not feel unwelcomed by any department, Instead, the lecturer encouraged us to explore different fields, even if we are only studying illustration. Encouraged us to explore different things, instead of telling us to stay in our lane. With that being said, sometimes there could be Too much free time, if you are not planning to use any facilities in the campus. However, I do believe that it varies for everyone because different people have different commitments so I do not think that is a bad thing. It’s just that maybe you have to expect a lot of time doing self learning instead of having someone that teaches you all day long.

I really like the accommodation for this location because I always need to go around Bower Ashton and Frenchay campus , being at the heart of the centre really helps to reduce my commuting time and it’s very very convenient. However, I could tell that the facilities here are not as new as those in Frenchay campus, and that the building still older than usual student village or student accommodations. It’s not particularly a big problem, because most of the items are still functionable and nice, But this is just the thing to keep in mind. Sometimes the heater or the oven doesn’t work and cost a little bit of inconvenience. Triggering of alarms also happens quite frequently, so there are a few nights where You would be hearing false alarms. The room itself Has absolutely no problem in general, nothing major and is generally really nice to live in. The walls between accommodation could be a little bit thicker.

Best: The facilities, labs and the teachers are all wonderful. Worst: The food is not good at the canteen, it can be improved a lot! There can be more areas for sports.

Best: The tutors are all very experienced industry people. Worst: We need more time and guidance as students. Much more personalised feedback.
