Woo that's good Carriecrafts. It must have been a dilemma. It's good that you and she can plan everything else now. Like accommodation. Must be a relief to get things sorted

[suesmith]

great news carrie - you can now breathe a well deserved sigh of relief and like boptothetop said start making plans for the future, dd has several friends at Urdang already who love it and one of her best friends will also be starting there on the degree in Sept

[carriecrafts]

[carriecrafts]

You can relax for a while now, and at least you know what to expect next year

Thanks have you found a house yet?

[carriecrafts]

Noooo DD doesn't want to go into any of the independent student halls, and tbh they are very expensive with most being well over £200 per week.

She has made friends online with a boy starting the same course and they've agreed to house-share, so I think they need to get a couple of others now - she knows 2 people still waiting for audition results so is hoping they get in so can share, alternatively there seems to be a lot of house-sharing being arranged via the Urdang Facebook group.

There are plenty of houses to share coming up for rent but they are available immediately and get snapped up, so I think it is too early to sort anything out as we don't want to have to pay rent over the summer. Our eldest dd has been a student in London for the last 3 years so we sort of know what to expect in terms of property and speed of the rental mark - but still it would be nice to know it was sorted

[Katymac]

At least you know what you are doing

I was such a wuss!! But we spoke to the landlady this morning & I feel a bit better

[suesmith]

So pleased decision made and accommodation found Katy next year you will know exactly what to expect
Carrie I hope dds accommodation gets sorted soon so you can relax

[Katymac]

Relax? Me?

You don't know me very well yet.......

Actually I feel much better

[carriecrafts]

Will your dd be far from home Katymac?

[bop2thetop]

Hey everyone. Haven't been on here for a while. Just catching up with everything. I hope everyone gets their accommodation sorted out soon. There's always something to worry about isn't there?

My DD is off to do a degree in Musical Theatre at GSA in September. We're very lucky because they have accommodation on the university campus.

[Katymac]

Sorry Carrie I missed that question she is about 2.25 hrs by car and 4 by train

Just wanted to say congratulations to all your DC and you, for supporting them through all the auditions. DD1 and I have been lurking on the threads and quietly cheering you all on!
I hope they are all very happy on their new courses
