JonMack Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I've got a place at Newport uni doing Graphic Design, was just wondering if anyone else has it on there choices, and if you have and are going there, what campus will you be on and what course? Even if your just considering it, give me a shout, I want to go there hopefully knowing a few people. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I had to go to my interview there, I like the campus as its in Carleon and um.... I guess you're getting at the fact that newport is a f**king dump? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt want to spend 3 years of my life there :angry: Saying that, ive never actually lived there, might be a nice place, but its repuation aint too great :angry: If you live with some decent students in the first year then it wont really matter where you are :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yeah Newport its self is a shite hole, but the campus I'll be staying at is about 10 miles out of Newport itself, and has some awesome views from the studios, right over the valleys (probably mediocre in comparison to what all you other welshys get where you live) Jon.

plainlazy84 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 hmm is the campus big, lively and interesting? i dont think views would be enough to tempt me somehow. My campus is 6 miles outside Brighton and we have some "views" but its boring as hell up here. The buses are really slow and take like half an hour to get into Brighton. If theres not much going on, on campus and the town is a shit hole could be a crappy really :blink: i know the course is important but so is the location.

JonMack Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yeah true, I get where you are coming from, at the moment partying isnt my scene, but i'm sure that will change, apparently Newport night life is pretty good, or I could always go up to Cardif as thats only a few more minutes down the road / train tracks. Meh, I was just wondering if anyone was going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Im not trying to knock you im just giving you another opinion. Some people can get away with going to boring/ dodgy places if they are just interested in the course- thats fine. Im just trying to give it a different perspective. It might be a fine nightlife and a great campus for all i know. But its probably best you are sure about that. Priorities might well change when you go to uni and if you are stuck somewhere where there is nothing to do it could suck big time. Im lucky as although my campus is boring Brighton has loads of clubs, pubs and bars. Deciding on where to go for uni is a big decision so dont rush into it.
