My first week at university has been a blur of new experiences. I wanted to attend a university which was a contrast to where I’ve been living for the past 18 years, but I don’t think I could have completely anticipated how different it would really be. After living on a farm in Herefordshire it’s really strange, yet exciting finding myself in a bustling city. Leeds itself, seems huge, everything is created on such a gigantic scale in comparison to what I’m used to. I’ve found myself looking around in all directions attempting to take in the new sights and pacing atmosphere.
I’ll admit I was quite nervous about my first day at college but it turned out that all my flat mates were going to the art and design college as well, which was a relief. I was excited to hear on the first day that we were going on a trip to Manchester the following Wednesday, assigned to capture what we felt represented the city, the people and the fashion. My favourite part of the trip was the Matthew Williamson exhibition, it was presented in such a visually impressive way with some of his designs hanging from the ceiling by tubes of neon light.
