being serious for a moment :-) apart from my first year of my degree which was spend doing lots of nice things the last 2 were constant hard work.
we waited outside at 8.00am to be let in by the caretakers and were kicked out at 8.00pm by the cleaners. the tutors were not afraid of giving you a bollocking if they though you weren't realising your potential. some of us shared halls with students from the university and they were shocked at the amount of hours we put in plus the longer terms meant we did an extra 6 weeks study every year. the popular myth of art school hippies on drugs wasn't the case.
But without the driving force of a few key staff members the healthy competition and work ethic could easily be lost.
Today i doubt a tutor would be able to say "that's shit. you know you haven't put any thought into it come back when you have something worthwhile to show me"
the parents would probably demand an explanation as to why their little darling was in tears.
