Is Central Saint Martins worth it?

Hi all,

I got an unconditional offer for CSM to study Graphic Communication Design. I’m pretty excited about it, but have heard some negative things I was hoping to get feedback on.

Firstly, I was hoping to hear from current students whether they feel like they get enough guidance and support there, because I’ve heard students sometimes feel like they’re just on their own pursuing a project.

Secondly, does life in CSM feel very isolated or is there a good social community?

Lastly, I’m concerned about how expensive it is. Current/recently graduates – how much did you actually end up spending on living costs AND/OR what do you see as the minimum amount needed to live comfortably yet cheaply? I’m wondering if the high cost of CSM is worth it over cheaper options like Lasalle in Singapore.
