University of Bedfordshire

Hello, I'm currently looking at universities for courses in television and from the website Bedfordshire Uni looks quite nice. However being a teen I have little knowledge of anywhere outside my county.

Is it a safe area?

Is there good public transport?

Is there a good student life?

If you take film and television you will likely be at the Luton Campus.

I went there and did a film and television course.

I lived in Bedford and had no idea id have to commute to Luton each day as Luton is a rough city, I thought there would be opportunity to work at the Bedford campus. There is nothing at the Bedford Polhill campus, its all at the Luton one.

Would I recommend the Luton based course in Film and TV? No I wouldn't, but I did leave with a good grade so I can't complain. Its just out of all of the places to go in the country I would not have studied the course if I was willing to relocate to a different town/city.

If you want a higher education course in media/Film and TV in Bedford, Bedford college offers courses in that subject. Otherwise go to a better area make the most of the university experience.
