Alright, here is some advise.

I was a lecturer before in a college and i have seen and heard more then my own ears can take. From a personal stand point there is no such thing as the perfect college or UNI in here. Most of what you will learn is controled by the ministry of education. From there the college head will control what you will learn aswell, most of the time the lecturer will not have his way when it comes to teaching students. When i teach 2D animation to students in college, i am require to teach them the whole thing in just 6 months while also letting the student juggle other subjects. Which is impossible for a student to grasp and be professional at if they keep being bombarded with other distractions.

Please be aware that a diploma doesn't give you an dvantage when it comes to applying for jobs. Most of what you need to learn will be self taught and not delivered by the college.

Here is a quaote from the head of the college i use to teach:

" We can't teach the students everything, if they want to be good at something then they should go and look it up"

" We can't pay you for doing extra classes, why don't you spend more time with the students. The other lecturers are also doing it"

" Don't set your standard too high, try to teach them the basics only"

" Can you change the method of teaching, i know this has been set as the foundation and basis of teaching but we need something to show"

When i said i wasn't going to teach for free and change my teaching method to suit the colege i was replaced. They didn't care if the student learn anything, they just want some finish student works to show off to investors. Even if it means the lecturer have to do the work for the students as well.

If you want a good college to study in, go to canada or france if you can afford it. If you have no choice pick your choice of college and go with it.

Sorry, but i can't disclose this college name.
