Mental health support was great however I feel like I wasn't supported enough by my tutors when it came to my actual work. Tutors were really busy with other students that I felt I didn't get enough time with them. Also negative feedback was given after I had submitted and not before.

Most facilities were really busy and some you had to pay for too. Loved the free fabric allowance. Library was really helpful with lots of different types of books and information.

Overall an easy going course. There wasn't an overload of work and stress which was nice. Some tutors were really helpful and others were not. Wish they taught us more on sewing too.

The actual uni was fine. Lots of different facilities however some of them could only be used by students from specific courses. Interior design and layout was great. The sewing machines and work spaces were really busy.
