Doing FE there and I know it's different to HE but the organisation of the college is terrible, their in debt and instead of getting working equipment in all the studios they spend money on keeping the receptionists warm and to have a new carpet :/
yeah this
proper proper shit, also they've merged with university of bradford, so you are now getting a university of bradford degree, as opposed to the "highly looked upon" degree you would have got from lcm
everything they teach you is the most obvious shit in the world, except for the mixing desks/patch bays/etc
but there's basically no fucking tuition for that!
also if you know your music theory and are good at composing you'll feel like you're completely wasting your time, as that is what about 60% of the first year and second year modules are made up of
i remember getting excited about going on to second year because we got to do electronic music modules, first lecture was some rock lover telling us how little he knew about electronic music and how much he disliked it, then after listening to him talking about muse for ten minutes, my mate says that he doesn't feel like he's learning much about electronic music
lecturer then put on a 5 minute clip of audio made up of ten second snippets of the most bait commercial ibiza dance music, zombie nation et al
say no more
