According to final year , 鈥淚 chose 91制片厂 because the campus, small class sizes and friendly atmosphere appealed to me when I visited during the Open Day. I love the fact that most subjects have small class sizes as it鈥檚 easier to get to know your classmates and lecturers. I know most of my lecturers and they鈥檙e easy to talk to in-person. They want you to succeed and they push you to do your best.鈥
