Course
'Lectures' are more like classes (a good thing), with small groups of students meaning lecturers get to know each individual personally and give one to one help, advice, tutorials etc. The lecturers tend to be experts in their field, with years and years of experience which is helpful, they always have time for you and are happy to help. Potential module choices are are super diverse ranging from photography to sound, video production, green design. There's plenty to choose from, definitely something for everyone (I wish I could take all of them!). Assessment are end of semester projects, they usually include a practical design projects and a short essay. Feedback is pretty quick and usually detailed, you can always speak to your lecturer for even more detail.

Accommodation
Worcester was my insurance choice and so I was unable to apply for accommodation until after results day. As a result, there were few rooms left in halls accommodation and the university instead allocated me a room in a university-managed house. I was disappointed at first but the house is lovely and I can't really fault it. We live a 15 minute walk away from Campus on a fairly quiet road, with a fair amount of the other houses also being student lets. It has been more difficult for us to socialise since we are not in halls and making friends with the people across/above/below us but we have still made friends outside of the house. There are plenty of shops located within a 10 minute walk, such as a Sainsburys, Coop and Aldi and then even more located in the town centre, which is no more than a 20 minute walk away. We have decided to stay where we are for next year and it is likely that we will remain there for third year too.

Accommodation
We started looking at alternative accommodation shortly before the Christmas break as others were starting to sign contracts and we were scared of missing out on the best places. We looked at 3 or 4 properties but realised that we were happy in the house that we already had and so we signed a new contract in January. There were no difficulties during this process
