Cinematics / Photography, Year 2

Not really good options. Was meant to see lion king live... person with tickets went inside and I couldn't get in to see it. Student living at home. However from friends apartments they are really nice and a good amount of space. Just very pricey. Library is full of rescoures and a nice area to study with the silent study area. Student union try their best to mate everyone involved in activities. Classrooms are big. No idea about sports

Ravensbourne is an amazing university to go to. The place is so colloabtive and I live that we can bounce ideas of each other. It's not just you are stuck to one course and you don't see anyone else, at ravensbourne allows and even engoures you to mingle and work with each other.

The student union is amazing and Stefan gets back to you very quickly which is so helpful.

They have very good industry links which is very helpful for when I leave ravensbourne I have so many contacts and links with some amazing people. My 1st day an recent graduate came in and talked to us about his time here what he is doing now.

Freshers was fun. The options were varied but weren't as widely valuable I stayed at home so didn't need to move out however my friends stayed at scape and farndale and they had terrible experiences since it was so overpriced. Really good actually. I was fortunate to be part of a university that had immense resources. The library staff were so helpful and SO incredibly lovely. I wish I could go back and thank them for all their help with my dissertation. Relaxed atmosphere. City life was pretty nice considering I live in London, nothing felt out of the ordinary.

It's a very fun and educational experience the uni provides very good teaching techniques that cater to every individual rather than one group as a whole the staff and students alike are so welcoming and very helpful

Ravensbourne is a very unique university, it's very industry based and gives you a real insight as to what working within the creative industries could be like. It's a digital university so offers a lot in terms on facilities and technology, it's also very social with ping pong tables and movie nights (and occasionally free pizza and who doesn't love free pizza)

My Year 1 of uni was incredible! I was surprised at how much I had learned and how well I did with my assignments. I like how our lectures have a lot of experience within there field at top companies. Also, on my course we collaborate with us courses which gives us the chance to network with other students as well as make life long friends. Unfortunately I was ill majority's of my freshers however being in halls I managed to make a few friends who kept me company the nights I felt home sick. To conclude I'm very happy with my current situation of living in London and studying my dream at Ravensbourne. Glad I had the opportunity to do so.

My uni experience is great. We have many professional from the film industry that let us know if their own experiences and teach us how to be the best in this competitive industry. Making fiends can seem hard but you just need to get in there and talk to everyone.

The freshers week was actually really funn, I got to meet a lot of people from different courses, I feel like ravensbourne has a very friendly community of people anyways, everyone is really sociable and welcoming. There was loads of different activities it wasn't just going to clubs, there was movie nights and theatre tickets. I don't live in the accommodation, but I've visited my friends before and they are really chic and modern. However the rooms are very very tiny, your kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are all in one room, it's probably less than 10m2, altogether it's very tiny. Ravensbourne has a huge campus, what I like the most is that the rooms are huge, the classrooms don't actually have doors they are just open spaces. The open spaces allow you to work wherever and whenever you want, you don't need to book out rooms or anything. The open spaces are really welcoming, it allows you to socialise with people from other courses. We have a floor 4 which is the open space where you can eat lunch and chill with everyone from the courses. Fashion really pushes you outside of your comfort zone and pushes you to think outside of the box constantly !. My course tutors are amazing they really are supportive and always want you to push your ideas and fulfil your potential. They really take time to understand your aesthetic instead of trying to force and mould you into a past designer who has been and gone. We often have to juggle multiply projects at one time, which is very very hard and stressful most of the time but it teaches you discipline, time management and mental strength. The course allows you to be yourself as a designer, but it also teaches you how to build your brand. London is the best place to discovery yourself as an artist. There is so much inspiration from London museums, galleries, exhibitions and the abundance of culture and politics. London is the best place for entertainment, social events, research both primary and secondary, learning about religion & cultures as well as just diversity in general.
