Ucas fair.

For people who haven’t been to a ucas fair, it is hosted in a big sweaty hall, free of charge and is a great way to get to know the university’s, collect free goody bags and loads of prospectuses. –my view anyway.

I had presumptions of what unis I wanted to go and see like UAL, Huddersfield, UCLAN, Manchester Met, but then when I got there and actually asked about the unis my views changed.

UAL – I walked up and said hi to this guy with a badge on, he did the head to toe look, I then continued to ask what kind of course do UAL do for ‘like’ 3D design, I say like in very sentence and yes, it’s a bad habit butt I’ve never had someone pull me up and correct me on it until this greased hair, skinny tie, pointy shoe’d man from UAL did. Then I lost all interest after that, bad start to the UCAS fair.

Huddersfield – Don’t do my course.

UCLAN – Don’t do my course.

Manchester Met – Was very talkative, welcoming and had the tutors there to chat to you and let you know who’s stuck teaching you for the next three years. They did loads of cool things like glasswork and work with concrete if you wish, as well as the typical 3D course basics, like woodwork, clay and metals. –winning.

Then at the end of the room was this fantastic display and it was for Brighton uni, id never thought about Brighton and never even been but the feel it had and the preconceptions I’ve heard and had about the place made me obsess over the chance to go.  So I walked up and had a chat and it sounded fabulous!
