Daughter has a choice between LSC, Performers & Bird. She's turned down Italia & Wilkes for the right reasons, but we can't narrow down these last 3. Funding doesn't come into it (we will somehow find a way to fund the extra at LSC if needed). I'd just like an honest opinion from someone who has been there recently and can comment on the courses, teachers, future prospects... Any help really!!
She loved the audition days at all 3. Leaning more towards LSC but not 100% ready to commit to one place.
Before the auditions, she'd got her mind set on Bird as her first choice & Wilkes as her second choice. Now that's all gone out of the window and we're stuck in limbo.
) is obviously very central London, Bird is 25 mins into central London on the train, but is situated in a busy high st area, with shops/cafes/ restaurants/pubs etc on the doorstep, and Performers is tucked away on the edge of a housing estate with barely any amenities close by. Speaking to students at the open days they all had to either drive in to Performers from their accommodation, or get the bus ( which all adds up) , and all said there wasn’t really anywhere to go out for a drink etc locally. 
) so same as what others have said. Never heard of an issue with students in area either. Kids I know seem to love it and think the MT training is excellent, lots of training in all three disciplines. Haven’t got more solid comments unfortunately… but my dd would have taken Bird over Performers and this year, Bird is one of two top choices for my ds. He has a place already, just waiting for funding outcomes for the other before he makes final choice.
