LCC

Last Monday morning, I went to London College of Communication (LCC), University of the Arts London, for access visit to check out the campus, the second of the three universities I’m applying to. When we first arrive (half an hour early) the conversation goes like this:
‘Are you Sulaiman?’ – Lady
‘Yes.’ – Me
‘I’m Celia, we e-mailed earlier.’ – Lady = CB
‘Nice to meet you.’ – Sarah and me
‘Okay, I understand you are applying for enrollment for next year?’ – CB
‘Yes, but his deadlines for his other universities are quite soon, so he just wanted to visit LCC early.’ – Sarah
‘HA, HA, HA’ – CB cackled for 10 minutes
‘Right, you weirdo.’ – Sarah and I both were thinking
‘Well, you couldn’t have come on worse day, today is enrollment and the first day of further education… I’ll just get Sue Jackson for you…’ – CB and walks off
‘Okay. You’re the ones who agreed to this appointment.’ – Sarah and I said to each other
‘Hello, I’m SJ, it’s nice to meet you.’ – SJ; she's thedisability advisor at LCC I was supposed to meet
‘Hi.’ – Me
‘Hello. We were told that this is not a good time to come.” – Sarah
‘I see you’ve met my boss, CB.’ – SJ says annoyed

Anyway, we then went up to SJ's office where she was really apologetic for CB’s behavior, and said it wasn’t very welcoming and quite wrong to tell someone it’s a bad time for them to come visit. We talked for quite some time. She said that anything I basically need, as a disabled student, they can whatever I need; and thought I could do very well there. LCC is just an exciting and an exciting place to study for me to do the kind of things I want to do…

However, I’ll see what my final decision of which university to attend after my visit to Cambridge. Let’s hope for the best: Wish Me Luck!
