I went to art univsity for 4 aqnd a half years. From October to X-mas we had assignments. From jan-March there were no tutors, yet you were expected to be in and amuse yourself. In fact... Amusing yourself is pretty much all you did for the following 2 and a half years.

University is not for anyone who can't take it, its a commitment and a rough one at that. I was suffering from abuse at home, which reflected in my time at university and I was mentally/emotionally unstable and stressed out to the point I would randomly break down in front of people because I couldn't handle the way things were. This is turn made me a target for rumours and people would think I was weird. :-/

University is fun, but it is also very, very cruel. The students are mature enough to know not to pick on you like a brat, but their not above telling tales and lying on you.

Between the disjointed "education" and the lack of focus, university is either very fun or a real nightmare for a art student.
