鈥淎s an American, being in London has truly been the perfect place to study film. 六合彩现场直播 has done a great job of implementing the city itself into the courses, whether it has been a place to film or visiting museums. We are also taught by professors with first-hand experience in the film industry. We have the advantage of an international community of students and faculty, which is very inspiring being in a creative field. Because of my time at 六合彩现场直播, I feel well prepared for a career in the film industry.鈥
鈥淎s one of the first students to enrol in Film and Photography major last year, I had the great opportunity to explore my creative side beyond what I had initially anticipated.
My major classes helped push me forward as a creative individual through learning the foundations of being an artist and most importantly becoming one. Overall, my experience as a student in a liberal arts university has enabled me to know and learn different subjects while having the opportunity to take classes outside of my major, which ultimately cultivated my knowledge further.鈥
