# Graphic design :)
It's so much fun. I was told getting a degree was supposed to be a difficult, frustrating and incredibly boring process. So not true :)

# Oooh, I did a year of illustration.
I'm at Plymouth College Of Art now, but I did a year (ish...) of Illustration at Plymouth uni. Really wasn't the right degree for me, and as nice as the rowland levinsky building looks, it was a bleak shell inside, so I left for across the road. Best decision I ever made, there's something very comforting about going to a specialist art school.

Where are you applying to? If you want any advice feel free to gaz me :)

# Brighton is supposed to be very good
I was looking at applying there. And I know it's not the main reason you go to uni, but do see where you can see yourself living and how much there is to do/how inspiring the surrounding area is. Brighton has sea and nightlife and all those good (but distracting) things. Cambridge, while beautiful (and filled with awesome shops) can be a bit sleepy.

And be prepared to spend a bloody fortune on materials. The list I got was terrifyingly large.
