  • What does she want out of it?

    Personally I think going to do fine art at University is a fantastic waste of money. You do not need art uni to be an artist. But Falmouth particularly will be the art school dream of an arty student wanting to be where the cool kids are etc..

    If she genuinely wants to be an artist, Id recommend going to a university in another country. Really pushing what herself into the unknown. It shouldn't be about being in a fun location and amongst the cool kids, but rather somewhere extremely challenging and competitive.

    But I still reckon just exploring things without university or studying something useful is a much better way to do things and not blow enough money to buy a small house.

    You dont have to want to be an artist to study fine art. Ive never wanted to be an artist despite studying it. You can go into many jobs with a fine art degree.

    I would recommend heavily in your daughter doing a foundation. Its free for her if she applies straight away in her last year of school for one of the london art schools
