I would agree with @mum5678for the standard of classes at the audition and different focus options in year 2.

DD did a Fosse style solo she choreographed for her audition piece.

We just bit the bullet and booked Medlock again. Dwell is cheaper but the properties are quite tired and tight for space. Private renting probably very sensible but needs some proper research and searching (and I like the security of the student accommodation) - and of course the student accommodation providers know they're in the box seat so the prices are just rising and rising. So we got in at Medlock before they get too high. I didn't realise quite how hotel-like and ruthless their algorithms were: as more students book, the rooms automatically become pricier. The room in Medlock we were looking at went up £9 in one week - which is quite a lot on a 51-week contract.

We secured within a unite property for second year during the early booking week on a 44-week contract and I’m so pleased we did Because as you say the prices have subsequently increased!

I’ve just had an email advising that the leotards are currently in production and will be dispatched in the next couple weeks. Looks like the girls should be ok 🤞🏼

I emailed today for an update as we had received no correspondence since ordering and they have said they would be dispatched within the next two weeks 🤞🏼

Yeah we contacted her but it had already gone. 

Have you joined the waiting lists with unite? Do you live far from Manchester, is commuting until something comes up an option?

There was a message in the snap chat group a few weeks ago I believe, a girl was giving up her place at new medlock, not sure of that's been filled yet 🤷‍♀️

No not yet, I re-read the offer etc last week to see if I’d missed anything as I’m conscious it will be due soon.

Can I check if people booked the tracksuit top in pink or grey?

The pictures look the same so it’s hard to tell which to go for.

The 'grey' one if you look at the front the bottom left line is grey where as on the 'pink' it's pink.

There is a similar difference on the back.

Great, thank you.

Don't know if you have had any success,Artisan Heights is showing two rooms available this morning 🙂

When we tried to view Dwell the booking was cancelled and they said they weren't taking viewings for this year so we went to US instead as we were able to view sorry can't help.

Hiya, not very helpful update I’m afraid! Megan showed us around but couldn’t confirm NBS exclusivity of flats, although did reiterate that they make every effort not to mix and the expectation was that NBS would only be with other NBS unless they had requested otherwise. On the plus side, the new decor is fab - rooms look exactly as per the new website pictures and kitchens very smart too. Think it’ll be lovely for them to be in when it’s all new and shiny! 

We have moved DD to the NBS flat in Artisan Heights rather than leaving her  in with the students in New Medlock, there's one space left in the Artisan flat of 5 🙂

DD had a fab time yesterday, she is looking forward to September even more now!

 That’s strange. Who did you speak to . I was told last week there are no rooms available in medlock for NBS or any other students as  it is now full !!

Yes my DDS flat is her and the others are uni students as they opened it up almost immediately after DD booked in!!

Is everyone's DC in blue group?

It's going to be a great opportunity for them to meet one another before September, DD is really looking forward to it! 😊

Zobia emailed yesterday and the partially filled ensuite NBS flat is being opened up for other students if anyone wanted to book in as it was implied no more ensuites available for NBS.

There's also a partially filled non ensuite with current first years in still with spaces.

(New Medlock)

Ours sat in submitted for sometime before the application came on it.🙂

@HairpinseverywhereWe got out dada award letter from NBS on Friday. Have you been onto the BIMM portal & completed everything you need to on that? They won't send a offer till thats done. 

Hi

Thank you we did that last week so good to know things are moving! 

Congratulations to your DD!

She has been lucky enough to have received dada offers for both coving fees with a good amount for maintenance as well. I have been trying to source graduate destinations from the classical course on NBS & havent really found much and from what I gather a big percentage on the jazz graduate to go onto cruise ships.

Hi can I ask when you heard about DaDA for NBS? DD is hoping to attend and is yet to hear regarding funding. 

How fabulous for your DD to have a choice, I'm sure whichever she chooses will be excellent. 

Did she get a feel for a particular one when auditioning?

DD will be in flat 51 at New Medlock, there a 3 more spaces left, believe it’s the last en-suite put aside for NBS ☺️

Zobia has said they are keeping one flat in 51 as a show flat, so two rooms left available and will be a flat of 3 🙂

And my DD is in flat 50 so sounds like NBS flats are close! I’m sure they’ll go between flats! 

Oh perfect!! 😊
