panicking

the five choices I had in mind where: Chelsea university, LCC, Portsmouth, Camberwell and that's it really, however now I have lost   Chelsea, LCC for graphic design, Camberwell, and i am not too sure about Portsmouth.
at the moment i have decided to apply for central saint martin, LCC for illustration, maybe Cardiff metropolitan. and now i am stuck with the rest.  

chelsea university

I am stuck with which university to apply for. I had all the five universities in my head before and I was very confident with them, however having been to their workshops or open days they turn out not to be as good as I though they would be. having done the workshop with Chelsea university for the past two weeks its only at the latest session did they reveal how their graphics course is really structured, and I just felt like it was all a waste of my time. their course is extremely guided with clear instructions on what to or not to produce. for example of the guys that shows us he's folio said on one of the projects he was working in, the said he had to produce a design in a certain size, dimension, a certain angle and how it should look. I think if they are being so controlling there's no time for the students creativity or for them to actually experiment with idea generation and making mistakes and learning from them. for this reason I will not be Appling for the graphic design course at Chelsea university.
