technical - variety of sign up workshops - digital, med format, flash, studio, large format etc
Overall i enjoyed the college.
teaching was good, interesting visiting lecturers. good library.
The course offers lots but must be self motivated to maximise this.
other: small village, no clubs, limited sport activities/organisations, limited people\places to socialise, (although less than 1hour to london, 7miles guildford).
student union offers very limited services - only caters for popular majority (school disco, rock night)."
