Psalter lane art college - the end


Recommended Posts

Different people want to live different ways. Students definitely tend towards living a 24/7 life, whereas residents in suburbs tend to work 9-5 and don't appreciate being woken up at 3am. It's not a case of being snobby to have more segregation (i.e. the students being more concentrated in and around the town centre, where all their amenities are anyway), it's a case of common sense

 

this is as i said not in my back yard point of view i lived in a student area and had some problems with students but u get good and bad of all sorts of people my opinion may have changed now i work witrh students my dad would have the same view as u but sorry this is old fashioned

Luckly I have just finished my Degree at Psalter Lane, but when it moves it will be a real shame.....

Moving into a brand new unit just won't be the same - Psalter Lane is a place where art students can really express thier creative freedom - A degree in Fine Art needs freedom like this - ok the building itself is a little outdated but its a fab place to study art in, if you have never been to visit this building, i suggest people go and have a walk around and see what goes off in this place - no other degree subject can offer the greatness like Psalter Lane can.

The bit about the vibe at Psalter Lane is spot on. The place is great for the arts courses based there. It has the feel of a small college, and a high quality one at that. I studied at Jacob Kramer college in Leeds prior to moving to what was at the time Sheffield Polytechnic. It felt very similar to Kramer (now Leeds College of Art and Design) in that it was specialised to one particular genre - arts courses.

I heard about the move to the city campus some years back from one of my old lecturers who is still there. I felt then, as now, that it would really destroy the extra special experience you get at PL. I am sure the quality of the courses would still be top notch, but I bet the workshops would suffer some losses in either equipment or space.

 

I just feel sorry for the future generations of the students who will miss out on such a fun and unique experience. I am not normally a sentimental person, but I do think I would shed a tear on the day they pull down the building. It really would be the end of an era.

It's not a case of them being "bad". Nearly all students stagger back from pubs and clubs late at night, I don't think anyone (including you) can deny that. Surely it makes more sense for ALL involved if they have less far to stagger and can do their staggering away from people who have to get up for work a few hours later?

But I genuinely didn't understand your point. Also, I addressed your other post, above.
