Unfortunately we just don’t have that disposable income, anyone who can help?

It's been one hell of an audition year and I really do hope that we've seen the worst of this pandemic and that all our DC's who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much can have a normal / semi-normal year starting this September. After all the stresses of the online filming etc, she is enjoying finally being on holiday after saying goodbye to all her dance family after 14 years over the weekend. Now all she is focused on is relaxing, enjoying the Summer and choosing and ordering all her uniform . I would love to hear how everyone is doing.

Hi, well we are at a total stand still, cannot find anywhere to rent within price range for my daughter, we also know another girl from our town who has also got nowhere to stay, I think we've waited too long for this so it looks like it's going to be a no go For this yr & may aswell re apply next yr now 🥺 after all that hard work they have done too getting their audition videos done
Such a shame and I'm gutted for her.
Oh she also has covid right now so dealing with that too isn't helping
Oh but if anyone knows of a spare room, full house to rent in or around corringham essex please get intouch

Massive well done to all of your DC for getting their chosen college & good luck to them for their futures xxx

Oh no! I'm guessing this is Performers? In the past year or two there's been comments about how difficult it can be to find accommodation around there. I remember someone flagging the accommodation situation as a concern when they took on more degree students the other year. It's not an area of the country that I'm familiar with and I may be mixing it up with a completely different drama school, but I remember talk of how some students would live in a different area and commute in. If no one can offer any ideas on here it might be worth trawling through an old thread (auditioning for 2020) and reading through, see if you can glean any ideas. Again I can't remember which drama school it was on about, but someone did say, at a place that lacks enough accommodation, that the first years have to 'suck it up' and just get what they can, then in 2nd and 3rd years they snap up available accommodation as they get wind of who is moving out first.

This sounds very stressful.
Is there anyone at the college who can help?
They must have known it would be hard for people to find accommodation when the number of places increased.
I hope she manages to find somewhere and she isn’t suffering too badly with covid x

When my daughter did Pre-Voc there (just finished first year at Wilkes) the accommodation was tight and then they increased the numbers massively so knew there would be a problem. I know a lot of her friends lived in Basildon which is easily commutable by bus and after a few weeks they were car sharing so maybe look at surrounding areas. Dd was lucky to get a house in Stanford-le-Hope so only a 15-20min walk but I do remember finding accommodation was the most stressful part of the whole process for us, so good luck!

Oh my goodness, that is such a frustrating position to be in. Please don’t lose hope, after all her hard work she deserves to start in September. When we were trying to find accommodation here we were not having much luck at all. In the end, I had made calls to every estate agent etc on their accommodation list, as well as agencies I’d found on Right Move and left my details with each one. A few days later we got a couple of houses and bedrooms become available.

Send an email to the accommodation email address and explain the challenges that you are having. They are helpful and will try to help the best they can. Like what others have said, it might best to look a bit further out, eg Basildon. It will be a bus journey to and from however by the end of the year she will get one of the closer houses in Corringham. In the end Howgates Agents said they had a few houses coming up in August. My contact there Luke on 07834 832567 was super helpful. If you haven’t already leave your contact info with every available house and agency. Things come up last minute as people pull out and also after Aug 10 when A’level results are confirmed. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Please let us know if you do manage to find something for her.

We have finally found accommodation for bird that’s in walking distance. So my daughter is feeling happy about that. She’s started buying a few things for the house - just waiting on the uniform list now.
It’s all starting to go very quickly. She leaves her dance school this week, leaves her job next week and the A level nerves are setting in!
