<p>Hello! I'm a student from the US who was just accepted to both CSM's BA graphics program and Camberwell's FdA graphics program in the UAL college system. I'm incredibly excited to be going to London in the fall but I'm torn between the two colleges and was wondering if any UAL students out there had any opinions. I've heard that CSM is much more experimental while Camberwell is more practical. I consider myself to lean more towards a program that's "practical" but I'm curious about how conceptual/structured the CSM program is. Ideally I want to be able to do both print and interactive (mostly web with coding skills). Also there's the factors of facilities, location, and the community of the student body to consider. If anyone out there has an opinion or first hand experience with the programs, please chime in!</p>
<p>I know nothing of art.</p>
<p>The obvious difference from an outsider Central St Martins is the brand name art school, (though known as much for its popstars as artists), based in Kings cross(so loads of students in the area). The qualification is a BA.</p>
<p>Camberwell is less well known and in south london, cheaper no question but there will be less students in the area. Also the Fda is a foundation course, do they have a suggested path to continue to a BA, would you have guaranteed entry?</p>
<p>Hey! I would definitely do the third year at Camberwell for the BA. I initially applied to UAL because of how well known CSM was but I applied to Camberwell because it directly mentioned coding skills on its website.</p>
