Something that is coming up over and over again is how expensive printing is for us on L4 Graphic Design. It is essential that we print colour images for the majority of us and at 20p a sheet, it is adding up very quickly.

I know some people have already spent upwards of £40 on printing and we are less than 2 months into the course.

We are expected and asked to print consistently, and we already pay £9,000 each to the school a year, even more for international students.

We know that some other universities cover in-studio printing costs, and whilst we do appreciate that the areas Brighton are spending in are important, we would like to see some of our money going towards printing, a fundamental part of our coursework.

We want to see a solution to this.

Either individual printing credits in each student’s account, or another proposed solution to take some burden off of us, in a time where it is already extremely expensive to go to university in Brighton.

We think that the release of funds for printing is a necessary and completely justified use of our money.
