UCA Farnham Day

Yesterday, I spent the day my uni (University for the Creative Arts at Farnham) to get the final details sorted for me to start in September. It was a very exciting day, indeed; and I’m so glad Sarah came too.

Upon arrival, when I got out of the van I couldn’t believe how sunny it was compared to up north in London and how much pollen was in the air at uni like giant dandruff everywhere, which stick to everything; well, the campus is on about 16 acres with lovely trees all around. So, I quickly walked out of the parking lot and into the main reception.

Anyway, I first met my Learning Support Assistant (LSA) who is like a note-taker but will be helping me with everything I need for my course and she seems very nice. We then met the Senior Accommodation Officer to check out my accommodation at uni. My dormitory is quite a good size with an en suite and a separate room for my carers. Just needs some posters and it should look much better. Next, we went Student Services Office and met with the Disability Support Manager to discuss in detail what support I’ll need during my course duration.

Once we finished there, we went to the cafeteria to eat some snacks. It was a good opportunity to start to get to know my LSA and to just hang out.

Also, after everything we met with my Year 1 Head tutor of my course (the one who interviewed me and offered me a place back in January) in a conservatory type structure with chairs and a sofa, which next to the cafeteria. He also introduced me to the other course tutor, as well. Sadly, I didn’t get meet the Course Leader b/c he was in a meeting, though hopefully I’ll get meet him soon in the future. But, the two course tutors were great to talk to and we discussed the course in greater detail. It was quite interesting to hear all the wicked things I get to in my course, even Sarah thought it was really cool. So happy that I got accepted on this course!

The day was just a wonderful experience and I’m glad I got everything sorted for uni; all I need to do now is prepare my mind for September. Well brilliant…


FYI: For you reference the course in September that I’m starting is BA (Hons) Advertising and Brand Communication at UCA Farnham

You really make it appear so easy with your presentation
but I in finding this matter to be actually something that I feel I'd by no means understand. It seems too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I'm
having a look forward in your next submit, I'll attempt to get the cling of it!
