Review of Ravensbourne To Be A Star

Having attended in 2013 in the Graphic Design degree program, the instruction, to put it bluntly, TERRIBLE. They were underdeveloped, underwhelming and pretty much absent. You would be given a project and then you'd be off on your own on the same day of the briefing to figure and tinker with the required design software. When you ask for technical advice, I remember fondly one TA saying: "Oh, that's your job to find out!". Incredulous! So why the hell did I come here then only to not only feel like I'm there merely for a piece of paper, but to be trashed on because I asked someone with the experience to tell me how I do something?

Oh, and I bet these instructors swear like no tomorrow and even if you were to report their bullish behaviour to the higher department, they don't care and brush it off as if we should deal with it. Unprofessional instructors and cliquish immature students are abound here. The environment was too hostile for me and I'm glad I never continued here.

Nearly 30k and growing debt and all for a worthless education.

Ah, one more thing of note, an instructor whose name I will not specify but had at one time, took it too far. She had a very potty mouth day in and day out. Yeah, no kidding! The F-bomb and the like was her trademark. At one point, amidst high tension (primarily because of her existence) and jittering anxieties during a project presentation that ran the whole day, caused one of her students to run off and cry into despair after presenting her work all because of her critical and demeaning remarks that were just downright bullying. Disgusting. And no one did anything about it!



DON'T ATTEND. YOU'RE BETTER OFF AT MORE TRADITIONAL AND ESTABLISHED SCHOOLS.
