Okay, so that's a bit mean.

Today I went to an interview at Stroud College (Spoilers: I got in), which has a rather less shining reputation than Cheltenham Art College, but that closed down last year so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Apparently Stroud has a thriving art community, albeit of a slightly hippyish persuasion, so there are worse places to study. And while the college is hardly [prestigious art college], it's clean and well-maintained, so I'm sure it'll be quite sufficient...
