DS unsure which way to go in the world of arts degrees. He’s had a lot of help and advice off his current college to finally horn into the sort of direction he would like to go in and has picked out too many a few courses he quite likes the sound of. However, he doesn’t know what to apply for/which direction to go in. Anyone have any advice or experience of the following? Of the course itself and what your DC went onto afterwards? (Believe it or not, this is the short list!)

My DD is trying to decide between Illustration degree courses at Cambridge School of Art (ARU) and Falmouth. She has good offers for both. Does anyone have any experience of either course? One has a very small intake (less than 50) and the other 120. Both places have a great feel about them. How to choose?!
