Congrats for your DS. Likewise mine has accepted his offer at ArtsEd however we are still holding out for some form of funding. The feedback from the freshers page apparently is that a lot are holding on until they know what's happening in September with regards to accomodation, however ArtsEd have confirmed to him that in September it will be a mixture of face to face and online classes. Just a little concerned as to how much space an MT student needs for online classes, particularly if they are in a house altogether and all in the same boat. :D
Yes that is the challenge although as you say Arts have confirmed it will be a mix of both. Finding anything with space in London is a challenge and even more so on a budget. Sadly no additional funding options for us 😔

Hi would you mind me asking what they are planning to do ? I’m intrigued as my Dd is due to start somewhere in September? Start date has been postponed from 7th to 21st but they will
Update us further in July . So I’m just curios :)

It says they are planning to start for 1st years as planned on 14th September and are currently looking to do the majority of lectures/classes face to face whilst developing new areas for teaching so they can meet the guidelines. It says practical classes will be taught face to face but with smaller classes.

Thank you :) that’s good news that it won’t be all virtual !

My daughter starts 3rd year on triple threat in Sept and hasn't heard anything yet about the teaching and how it is going to be conducted.

I think they are waiting on audition news so they don't yet have an offer. Was yours a place you had to decline or accept by friday?

I woud suggest you apply early for Chichester accommodation if your DC is on triple threat. My DC was offered only accommodation at the main halls in Chi. for most students it is perfect - spitting distance of kfc nandos and weatherspoons by the train station but the tt course is mainly in Bognor 7 miles away which is over an hour commute each way
it is a good mile walk to Chichester university where the shuttle bus is and then bus is anywhere from 20-45mins. My DC did not take her Chi TT place in the end .

I woud suggest you apply early for Chichester accommodation if your DC is on triple threat. My DC was offered only accommodation at the main halls in Chi. You have to list 6 options in order of preference otherwise you can’t submit the accommodation request which is why they publicise that everyone gets one of their choices!! For most students these main halls are perfect - spitting distance of kfc nandos and weatherspoons by the train station but the tt course is mainly in Bognor 7 miles away which is over an hour commute each way

The only thing I would say is to bear with them as they are in the middle of the year 1 and year 2 assessments. All their students then have a week off.

I hope they start letting the reserve know after then. The waiting is awful. Especially when my dd doesn't have a firm place that we can afford yet.

I feel for you as all the uncertainty is so awful. What has she been offered at the moment?
