Painting and Drawing degrees in All England

The facilities are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful. The building itself is really nice and doesn’t feel overwhelming. The only negative thing I would have to say is that unlike other universities I feel like the opportunities to do clubs outside of the institution are limited so if you are trying to make friends outside of your course it can be a bit difficult. However everything else is amazing. The food in the cafeteria is affordable and gets rotated every week so there is always something different and material cost aren’t to bad, in my opinion I feel they could be a bit cheaper however if you can budget properly then it isn’t to bad I just think that every student should be allowed an allowance given by the institution so they can afford materials. Overall my experience at the university so far has been amazing and I have learnt and refined a lot of my skills.

Great university located in a beautiful coastal town. The staff are kind and supportive, and there to help students in times of need. The SU organises events which support students, like the free pantry on Mondays, where those of us who are struggling due to cost of living can take food for free . Additionally, there are many facilities, like the printing room and the MAC suite, which students can use to help them with their course work material. Overall a lovely place filled with amazing people, but awful prices. The campus art shop, while handy, has high prices and the canteen food is extremely pricey too. They also do not accept any cash, which can be a hassle.

I wish we had more access to facilities for the others degrees. I wish graphic design had more space for equipment. I wish the printer in the B block belonged to graphic design we are the only ones who use it but when it runs out of paper it doesn’t get filled. I wish we had access to the facilities at the other colleges. I wish someone explained the American education system and classes structure to be before I went on exchange to FIT NYC so I could choose my classes with more certainty. But love UAL! Good tutors and industry links.

The best part is when I got to meet people from different backgrounds and I’ve interacted with people I wouldn’t normally interact with, The Nile website is sometimes confusing, and the lectures aren’t always helpful.
