In all honesty, I dont know. I darent rock the boat until I finish in June really, when my work from these modules has been assessed then Ill start looking into what I can do about things0 -
Just a small update to this..
I accepted a 3rd Year Place at Wolverhampton Uni last week, so thankfully I will complete my BA in the 3 years I intended to. I will commute there and after a chat with the course leaders actually tutor time is only 3 hours a week so I wont need to be on site a great deal (I have access to A3 printers etc).
As far as Staffordshire University is concerned I'm still considering my options, but now I have calmed down slightly I dont think I would get very far in taking them to court as I have received the tuition I paid for.
In the end after I became quite vocal (In a polite way!) about being mislead over the course Staffs withdrew their offer of any place lol Funny how I'm good enough for year 3 at 2 other Universities, and year 3 with them on a crap course, but not good enough for them on their Graphics BA..... I'm now of the conclusion it's their loss0 -

I'm glad to hear that it's been resolved to your satisfaction.
Ignore Lokolo; Wolves is no more of a craphole than Stoke - or any of the West Midlands for that matter!0 -

I liked the setup at Wolves actually, I liked the fact the art building was separate from the rest of the Uni in its own little community really. Added to that the station and ample parking was right outside the block so I can either travel on train, or via car. It took me just over 40 minutes to drive there via the back roads through Stafford last week.
I keep hearing good things about Wolves Graphics, my FD lecturer qualified there as well so Staff tend to like the students coming in from that college lol0 -

lol I'm in Stafford, its nice there!
Um I would recommend going by train. I have got train to Stafford -> Birmingham a number of times and theres plenty of trains. I suspect if you get a railcard it'll be cheaper than car (it only costs £10 return to Birmingham).
Are you def going to Wolves then?0 -

Yep, Wolves is a definateThe Art building is literally next door to Molineuex and student parking on there is £3 a day, plus my petrol so you may be right. But, to get to Stoke station from here would cost me £3 on the bus or a similar amount for parking somewhere near, plus train fare. I think it even's out to be honest.
I may drive in the warmer weather and take the train in the winter. Ill be driving in my Clio though not the TR7 because frankly I dont trust it to get there :rotfl:0
