LoveFunArt student review:
Kelvin- I am full of passion in architecture, because of Frank Gehry. Yet, during high school, I had no one to share the same interest and passion in architecture. After participating in University College London’s summer camp, I was certain that architecture is my dream. Thanks to all teachers at LoveFunArt to helped me when I needed. Such as practicing the interview with me for University College London. The moment I got the offer from University College London was the best day ever. Attending University College London, I met many peers that share the same passion as me in architecture, in art. We even travelled, and having art discussion together. It is stressful, yet worth it.

Reviews at the University College London:
Beautiful art and historical information about pioneer women scientists in the UCL Art Museum. Used to work in the Medical Faculty many years ago, could not revisit building because of tight security barrier and guards. The times they are a changing!____Haysha EVANS
Spent a year here pursuing my LLM and it was one of my best and most fulfilling academic years. Incredibly brilliant professors, lecturers and peers all-around. Located at the heart of Bloomsbury, where you will find an incredible academic atmosphere. Admin efficiency could be improved but I have left that feedback with the staff. Great memories!____J Y
As we know, UCL is of course one of the top 10 universities over the world. The academic power and capability are actually beyond the general public's expectations. For example, in the field of brain sciences and neurosciences which have been becoming more important as the future tech., UCL is placed 2nd just behind Harvard University in the world. Other than that, the research capabilities of UCL in education and architecture are the world top. I was once a visiting PhD student of UCL (I am currently working in MIT), and I was so satisfied with the life in UCL. Especially, professors (+lecturers) and PhD guys were incredibly smart and genius. Excellent Univ.____James Smith

I truly love my time at Bath. Happiest days of my life so far, and that’s just due to the social side. The professors are lovely and often hard working and clearly care a lot about their students.____member1033259
As a first year, I absolutely love the University of Bath. The campus is beautiful, the clubs and societies provided are amazing full of amazing students. Everyone is so friendly and intelligent, it is very easy to fit in quickly. The only problem I can think of with the university is that the library is often full and it can be difficult to find a space especially near exams, however there are many other places suitable for quiet studying all around the campus.____AndreV

Reviews at the University of Bath:
I had a long dream of going to Cambridge University and that was fulfilled last month. One of my relatives has helped me to move around the university. We took a shuttle service to enter inside the campus then we walked. It was a nice experience to walk on a rainy afternoon. We visited some of the most famous colleges in Cambridge and few chapels.____Dr. Shaunak Das
Amazing place. I hope to study here one day whether it be in 3 years or 20 years time. This place is part of British and world history through and through. Even for a visit, I would recommend due to the amazing scenery and historic feel of the city. It's not like you'll ever get bored however, as the city is packed with shops, quite literally having every brand you could think of. Also, if you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, you will love it here, with the outskirts packed with Chinese takeaways.____Benas J
One of the best university in the world with thousands of scholars and brilliant minds. The city itself is so beautiful to explain with words but to witness it. Without this university our world would be so much behind the clock. For foreign students the dorm and house rent is very high and every one seems to love riding bikes in this county. Anyone who comes to Cambridge this university is a must visit place along the way of kings college trinity university and other educational institutions.____Zubayer Khan

Had a terrific experience there as a student. I loved my teachers, the curriculum, the facilities, the outside environment and much more. Met my wife there and made great life-long friendships. GO BIG RED!____Justin Reese
One of the best decisions I have possibly ever made. For a city girl like me, the country tranquility and studious atmosphere was exactly what I needed to stop myself from being distracted by the hustle and bustle of city life. As for the famous chilly winters, all Cornelian complain about it, but then later it becomes something that all alumni would have endured through and remember ____Si2 Yu

Reviews at Rhode Island School of Design:
Not gonna lie to you, RISD is a really expensive place to pursue an education, but it pays off. You'll meet a lot of people who are more talented than you are and you can't help but learn from them, befriend them, and grow a network of lifelong friends and connections. The professors are usually great, often inspiring, and always knowledgeable. If you're going here, art and design should absolutely be your emphasis, but you'll also have ample opportunity to round out your education with RISD liberal arts and a massive selection of Brown classes. It's also worth noting that the RISD name has a lot of pull in the job market, and alumni connections are considerable. Opportunities for internships and full time work are everywhere, particularly for design majors. I can't personally speak to RISD's fine arts connections, but I believe they are similarly strong.____Timothy P
A wonderful art school for people looking to study art, but for yelpers there is a wonderful art museum open to the public. In addition, if you are in the area, some of their dining hall cafes are open to the public and trust me their food is not your average dining hall food its actually a high quality a food and not all that expensive.____Annamarie T
Okay, so this review could be miles long, but I will sum it up as briefly as possible: 1. The best art school in the country. Because of its exemplary museum, setting, faculty, students, programmes and culture. It isn't difficult to be amazed at the work of the people associated with RISD. 2. You gotta be ready for it to really get the most out of it. There are rules and their are expectations, but you can and should do your own thing while learning whereever you can, and you will be rewarded for it, even if it goes against the rules. 3. The resources are there, and are around you even if you can't find them at first, and sometimes you gotta bring a serious grease gun to get the gears moving. The freedom that this school provides also requires maturity to accept.____Jeffrey L
