I am enjoying my time at this uni, my course English creative writing is time consuming and can be a little bit boring. But I knew this when I applied. My best advice to any potential new students is to look in depth at what modules are available for the three years before you commit to making a solid choice. Its really not a good idea to just choose a university that offers this English course because if the modules are not right for you, your not going to be as encouraged and motivated to succeed.

Top notch music facilities. Music stores have thousands of pieces of music equipment to book out. Course staff are highly talented music professionals who also work in the industry. They are gold mines of information and highly talented educators. The uni and course is literally the top arts uni in the UK. There was some controversy over this as the Sunday Times does not have a separate category for arts uni's. I got hold of the table and manually compared each arts uni. I did the math ! And, yes Falmouth does come out on top and rightly so. You might be mistaken in thinking that Falmouth is some snoozy Cornish riviera backwater not up to the standards of international capitals like London, but in this case you'd be wrong ! Falmouth uni is a very high flying place with course staff regularly jetting around to conferences and events to stay up to date with the latest stuff. For example one of my lecturers was just going off to Germany. Any problems I've encountered often seem to be common to many uni's. For example the institutional culture can take some getting used to if you're not familiar with it. Awareness and decisions can get stuck in committees basically, but you just have to know how to shout up in the right way to get the heard. Also for some reason accomodation insists on using the atrocious "Circuit" laundry machines. A company that is widely denounced across all campuses that use it. Otherwise Falmouth uni lives up to the districts "Falifornia" reputation with innovative and culturally revolutionary research and events going on. An interesting place !

The course is what it said on the label. No hype just staff who are highly skilled and work in the industry. This is not a music theory course but a full on attempt to insure that you are heading into work in a profession.

On the most part helpful accommodation staff. Some institutional problems with getting things done sometimes. Unfortunately there are the dreaded Circuit Laundry rooms. So bad that I take my laundry elsewhere to be done.
