Hello All,

OK i'm on an art foundation year & I really cant decide where I wanna go next year to uni! Or even which course would suit me best.. I like photography but I dont know whether I'm good enough to do it or not! And I have no idea which town I'd like to live in for the next 3 years.. HELP!! I was considering going to Norwich school of art & design but apparently the halls are crap..hmm Any Advice would sure be welcomed! <IMG alt="image" SRC="eek.gif" border="0">

    Look, time's running out! there's not much time to go visiting everywhere!

    I'm from Derby .. just the town y'know. Why, do you live here too? Which part are you from then?

    As for where I live, just some crappy village just outside of Derby.

    Then I'm afraid your to late. The UCAS applications deadline was January 15th.

    ho hum, you're not much help dear! For art courses our deadline is the end of Feb.

    Dan gave you some advice so what are you moaning about? No one really knows for sure 100% what they want to do or where they want to go. It took me ages to decide on the course and the uni, and although I thought I had made the right decision, I don't like it now I am here. Find out as much info as you can and if you miss the deadlines you can always go through clearing. Good luck.

    oh dear, why, what's wrong with your course/uni? I don't mean to be nosey but it's just helpful to hear from other people who've been there, done that! So thanks for replying..

    A helpful article for you: http://www.thesite.org/info/careers/education/ucas__making_the_right_choice.html

    I'd also suggest going to your careers centre or making an apppointment with your careers advisor at college who will be able to give you one-to-one advice on where to study and filling out your application. As for whether you are good enough to do photography why don't you talk to your tutors and find out, see if they have any good suggestions on where to study and what.

    Good Luck
