Over the last few weeks I have been thinking about university and how I am having second thoughts. I still want to go ahead with university next year but I felt there was so much pressure over January that I didn't listen to my heart. My choices included Brighton, Falmouth, Bournemouth, Plymouth and Newport. Nevertheless I now feel a strong urge to simply just bother with Brighton and Plymouth. I also thought I should have put down Portsmouth as an option even though it was not recommended to me just incase for a back up. In fact I think that was the problem I had. Newport and Bournemouth were both recommended for being quite good universities, nevertheless thinking about it I feel it's not just the course but the place. I couldn't see myself in either. I applied to Falmouth because I though Natural History and Marine Photography sounded really good. However it is so far away and I have this feeling you do not get proper funding for that university to stay.
This leaves Brighton and Plymouth. Plymouth was by far my favorite but it is sure a long way. Would I miss family and it would mean that it would be further away from London so no exhibitions in a day trip? The environment is lovely but a high rate of unemployment. Brighton is local and I could get there with ease, still being able to stay at home. The problem I had was the fact that equipment looked old and so many students (almost double Plymouth) means that there would be less space etc. For this reason I feel stuck between the two. I have an interview for Plymouth coming up and I have just sent a digital portfolio for Brighton. I also sent one for Falmouth but they have not replied yet. I feel now that if I was not to get into either Brighton or Plymouth I will skip a year and work, applying next year. I feel like not even bothering with the other three an I will probably not submit my portfolio.
