The document compares the pros and cons of three different programs for props making/special effects: Northbrook Metropolitan, University of London, and Rose Bruford College. Northbrook Metropolitan offers a shorter and cheaper 2-year program but has higher grade requirements and a less prestigious qualification. The University of London's 3-year program results in more debt but has a stronger qualification and reputation. Rose Bruford College also has a 3-year program with opportunities for props construction and painting, but has lower entry requirements and is farther away.
