Well i have a interview in 19 days for a college ...

I need to portfolio my work including work from school ...

I also need my predicted grades and this sucks because at the moment they're quite low so i need a re-evaluation just before the interview :(

..People have been swaying my mind and i'm now conused which college i should go to ...

Well there's North Trafford and South Trafford... i want to go to take a BTEC national instead of going to a sixth form college because with this btec national it's better than getting 3 A levels... but that's what i thought was the best anyway i know i'm supposed to decide but i want to see what you guys think is better :)

aaaaaaaah so ure goin on high school lol :D :lol:
11-09-2005, 05:21 PM
ROTD

go to st... the latter (NT) seems... a little oldschool... alot of which i learned in priliminary school...... Nt has some advantages but id pick st... just because it seems to hit more areas that im into... NT just explains what and when its teaching it

ive learned more in the pass eight months then i ever will in highschool ... id go to collage for web-design slash art styles/techniques and/or drawing

Depends what your into. Seems that NT hits more of webdesign/3d and ST hits more of 2D arts.

I would go for both. =D

actually yeah college is awesome i'd get a lot of free days, but i'd prefer uni ... i don't know why but i would :)

(by the way our uni = your college) :P

so i'd have my own dorm room (or just buy a penthouse flat somewhere closer to town) :P

Dude, I would so move to Canada if you became PM, and I would go to your house and be like "What up dude?"

But deadloader, I would go with NT, but that's just me.

Good luck man, hope all goes well.

PS - Go with the penthouse flat. =)
