I wouldn't recommend

Its perhaps one of the worst University experiences ever. I go Graphic Design here. One of the hardest programms to get into and I regret it by a mile. We have no proper working printers and quality paper for our assignments. Our teachers force us to buy their own programmes they are working with and their overpriced books. While the lesson don't focus on anything manually or artistic. We have for three months now worked with how to write essay and had lectures about philosophy. Graphic design like making posters or website? Little to non. And when we actually have to make a website our teachers refuse to teach us the new program or principles for the assignment. Instead we are referred to YouTube.The general lesson are chaotic with little to non proper planning over the courses. Social aspects of the school is also rather weak. It's nice the first two weeks when you enter, then ? Nothing, barely any socialising and events.
