Student review [#42507]
for Visual Communication Design
at University for the Creative Arts - UCA
London, The United Kingdom
The small Canturbury campus makes up for it’s size with a big heart. It means you’re familiar with more of the campus, it’s tutors and your fellow students. This smaller atmosphere makes it probably the most cozy university around.
The highlights of UCA is most probably the abundance of equipment; you’re encouraged to use it all regardless of what course you take. From 3D printing and wood working, to screen printers and rizographic printers, it’s all for the taking. The library resources are also plentiful and make research interesting from the get-go.
I’d say the main issue is probably the accommodation; there is very little on-site so if you want it you’ll have to get in there super quickly, otherwise the other student villages are a kittle bit of a trek being around a 20 minute walk from the main campus, which doesn’t feel so good in winter when it’s dark all the time. The only other option would be to rent a place in something like a house share, as those can often be a fair bit closer.
