It was something I definitely didn't expect, there was so much competition and I heard there was a very limited number that they let apply to the academy. So I was a bit skeptical but damn all the hard work did pay off!
I applied for:
St, joost Breda
Willem de Kooning (WDKA) Rotterdam
Artez Zwolle
HKU Utrecht
For all the academies I applied for the same study, what is of course illustration.
I applied for 4 academies because I didn't want to bet on one academy, and because I didn't had a preference at all.
All the academies had benefits and disadvantages and I still do not know where to go, but first I'm going to focus on my exams in May.
