Elisa - When she was starting the course she felt very nervous, when meeting all the people she was shocked at the numbers, there were so many people and she found it difficult to remember names.
Charlotte - Very mixed feelings through the period of the day, she was not nervous when she was starting, she was very surprised by the amount of people. Was very curious when realising that all the MA's would be put together, not how she imagined it. When hearing breakdown on course she became quite worried at whats ahead but very excited about it all at the same time. Hearing so many good things about Farnham can not wait to get in the role of things.
Tara - Very excited. Never imagined that many students, but was really excited to know that there were so many people with completely different backgrounds. She was feeling a positive nervousness.
Lesley - Felt very relieved to be doing the course. On day of course structure, she kept referring it back to her and how it would all relate. It seemed all very unusual to what she was used to and felt it was introducing new skills. She is still unclear in how some of the structure is going to benefit her.
Kelly - She felt relieved when she came here from LA, she felt relaxed that everything wasn't at such a fast pace. The enrolment felt very strange and how everything was done. The schedule for the course still seems to be very up in the air from what she is used to in LA, everything is very set and structured.
Christos - He felt very positive about everything, in particular the tutors, he didn't get along well with his previous tutor and from first impressions, he seems to like his new tutor a lot better. He feels that the tutors have a great deal of knowledge and background. He didn't really have that many expectations on them.
Mago - He was very nervous but at the same time extremely excited, felt like he was on 'Cloud 9'. He has been looking forward to coming here for quite a while, to him its a dream come true. Wanted to come because of what he had heard about the lecturers, he got a good impression from information he was given and liked the fact that a great deal of the tutors were practitioners and had a great wealth of knowledge.
Daniel - He was excited and nervous, he felt this partly because he didn't know anyone. He hasn't had a year out he came straight from uni. He's used to everything being involved with uni, he said it seems quite different here.
Navpreet - Positive and excited to meet new people and restart education after working as a textile designer in the Punjab, India. Excited to be in England studying and that the educational institute here in Farnham is better than what he experienced in India. He expected the campus, library and facilities to be large and was happy that his expectations were met. He was very impressed by the Craft Study Centre. He has to make a long journey everyday to arrive in Farnham – Hornchurch to here….two and a half hours – so his overall first experiences where more than just Farnham. The way of life is faster paced here than in India. He will move to Farnham soon.
General
The town seemed to be quite noticeable for its cobbles and the quirkiness of it all, it was mentioned that you could imagine 'wellies and Labradors', he seemed to be a quiet village and the locals seemed to like it like that. Impression that was given was that the older generation lived there.
Someone associated the size of the train station was the size of the town, in that you can arrive at a train station and already judge the size of the town itself.
