My best advice really is to make sure you go somewhere that you want to go to. Do not choose somewhere based on just the course or just the location, you need to have a balance and enjoy both. I am so glad that I listened to my initiative and went to Falmouth because I had teachers at school trying to persuade me to go to other universities. I think the clubs and societies here are really great, look out for something called 'flexsi' which is a cheap membership that allows discount for water-skiing, surfing etc. for a couple of pound a go. I am part of the lacrosse girls team which has built confidence skills and a healthy lifestyle.

Scarily, I am already in my third year. I can't explain how fast your time at Falmouth will go, three years in a flash! I have to say it really has been great, although I am down to the very hardest point it all has felt worth it. There are lots of Interior Design courses on offer across the country and I would really recommend that you explore what's around and go on some open days to get a feel for it yourself. I am excited for what I can do after university with the skills I have learnt on this course, the university has great job prospects for their graduates.

I am studying film at Falmouth and I haven't yet regretted my decision. It is an inspirational place to live with the bonus of beautiful scenery and landscapes to make the perfect backdrops for any filming coursework. You can't say that Falmouth has a 'city life' but it has something unique, it is full of things to do and has such a friendly atmosphere that you somehow never feel alone.

The whole "campus" experience is exactly what I wanted and desired. I love living by the sea and far away from a busy big city. Falmouth University campus is situated like a friendly housing village. Living in blocks of flats with eight people, you are guaranteed your own bedroom with a double bed and an ensuite. If one thing sells this university it's the accommodation, it's almost too nice and its the same prices as what friends are paying in cities like Leeds for only a small single room.

I really love it, our course is great and it’s brilliant that we have such dedicated tutors. I really admire it when they talk about their previous examples of works and designs that they are associated with. It gives me something to aspire towards. Falmouth is a really happy and friendly place to live with lots of active outdoor things to keep me busy. I would really recommend coming here to anyone who wants to have fun in a creative learning environment.

Falmouth is an amazing place where you can meet many creative and artistic students who act as constant inspiration. Compared with other universities this design centre appealed to me as creative students are combined into one building. As an interior design student we have textile students, sustainable design, product and contemporary crafts within the one building. Each student is given their own desk and locker which allows me to set myself up and work comfortably in the studio all day and into the evening when it shuts at 9pm.

English lectures are good, but they could be more useful. The lecturers could be more competent. The accommodation is good , but it is not perfect. On the plus side, the city centre has everything I would want from a city. All the uni facilities are good- I don't have a problem with it. The societies are really enjoyable and you get to met a lot of new people. I have had lots of opportunities in this uni and the careers centre has been helpful. Make sure you stick to something you enjoy (your subject).

I find my course and the university as a whole a very enjoyable and interesting experience. If I think back four months I hadn’t even started this course and I think first year is going to fly by. The Interior Design course is very exciting but new to me and it’s all a big learning curve. I am quite excited to see what is has to offer. One thing I think really helped me to settle in was having student mentors in second year we could turn to if we had any worries or questions.

In my course the lecturers are qualified for lab work and they are really organised. But my accommodation is really humid and mouldy. The city centre is too small and everything closes really early. There are good resources for books and the gym is really nice. I don't like the cultural events because non-students are allowed to attend and it is not educational. The SU is nice- it has a Starbucks.Some lectures focus on career development- they show you how to write a CV which is really helpful. I would recommend this Uni to students that have a family. The nurseries are close, which is good for parents.

Having been a student at Colchester institute I can highly recommend it as a great choice to study a degree. I studied fashion and textiles, the course was well organised with lots of opportunities for live projects as well as national competitions. Encouragement was constantly given to seek out work experience and the year I was there, students worked at Alexander McQueen, Mary Katrantzou and Mathew Williamson to name a few. Colchester is a lovely historic town with plenty to do it is 50 minutes away from London making visits to the latest exhibitions and shows very easy. The lecturers on this course were always very helpful and supportive and always available to have discussions even outside of your allocated session times. The technician has a wealth of knowledge too and no job ever seemed to extreme when it came to developing your ideas. I would go back in a heart beat and relive the wonderful time I had at Colchester Institute and any learner luckily enough to be accepted would have a full and relevant education.
