    Hi

    I am looking into going back to college as a mature student.

    When i left school i started a degree in Fine art but dropped out because the life of a penneyless artist wasn't for me. I did get a place in Graphic Design but being a stupid 18 year old i picked fine art.

    I started working then and after nearly 10 years I am in a good job etc but i'm not happy and am craving doing something creative again. For years i've been saying i would go back to college and now is as good a time to start as any.

    I'm thinking i'd like to start in 2012 so i need to start putting my Portfolio together. From this years info it was March for submission.

    Anyway LONG STORY SHORT. Is anyone here a graduate or current student of the Visual Communications course in DIT. Tips and advise welcome?

    Hi , in the same boat here. Any advice on this? How many hours/classes do you have to attend per week in the first year? Thank you!

    I'd say lads get a degree that'll get you employed

    What an ignorant comment to make.

    He's a troll - ignore - most of his posts are similar drivel.
