Wow, to be honest I think you are just ungrateful with what you have.

We don't even have our own studio and computer lab last time. Everything was shared. We also do not have our own printer like what you guys have. All printing jobs has do be done outside the campus which is very far away.

You mentioned there's some not so good lecturers? Some of my lecturer didn't even attend classes while some didn't even teach. We complained, the lecturer got sacked and was replaced by another of his kind.

The best of all, our fees are almost the same as Taylors.

but despite all that, we still can manage to do well and study. You just have to adapt to situation, get the best of what you have and don't be such an ass. Taylors is not Harvard or Oxford.

Seconded.

Taylor's may have this and that deficiency and so on, but it comes down to making the best choice you can given the circumstances. I understand some of Benjamin's misgivings, being a recent alumni I have complained about the same things, but they do not stop one from getting a design hammered out with the tutors at the end of the day and getting the hell out. A perfect campus doesn't exist, and it would be wasted on most of the clientele at Taylor's anyway.

Try not to be so vitriolic here, this is not an unpopular forum and people take advice from this place seriously.

Note the bold portion above.

That is indeed a very serious issue over here for the students; all of them are claiming that they really just want to complete everything as quickly as possible and then "get the hell out of this place" ASAP. (Some of them even mentioned that all they want is just to PASS, so that they can quickly get the hell out of this place.)

Surprisingly, I am not one of them with this sort of thinking; I instead desire to enjoy my education over here. (I was even planning to continue into their Part 1 equivalent degree over here.)

At the beginning (when everyone was just beginning this course at Taylors SABD - which started back in the old campus), everyone was really happy, optimistic, and greatly looking forward to all of it, and the attitudes were really different & positive instead. However, as each semester gradually goes by, everyone was suddenly beginning to hate this place more & more for some unknown reasons to me (and they really cannot wait to get out in all urgency)...; today, none of them plan to pursue their degree (Part 1 equivalent) over here. (All of them would rather pursue it elsewhere anytime, and then it also seems to me now that I am joining the bandwagon...)

BTW, speaking about the term "vitriolic" over here...; it indeed reflects on "some" of the full time lecturers as well, and yes, they will relentlessly do it for the sake of doing it - I won't be surprise that there is even a quota for it. (It is a very 'money-minded'/greedy ecosystem.)

Regards.

You put the wrong part in bold. I may have phrased that too loosely.

Please don't use/twist words out of context. There definitely isn't such a thing as a 'vitriol quota'.

Try not to slag off Taylor's in public, using reasons unknown to yourself and misplaced adjectives. You could advise personal friends and family, using specific examples. The rest of us have been there, done that. This is cleaner.

Keep your design chin up and focus on the right stuff.
