    Oh perfect thank you for the info, we will hold off for that one then 😃

    Is anyones DC doing the Easter Day on 14th April at NBS?

    Hi we can’t send DD without a DaDa either I’ve resigned myself to not signing up for accommodation until we know for sure, which is a gamble on what accommodation she gets in the end but it’s only for a year and can move her accommodation in year 2 if she’s not happy where she ends up. Worst case it’s 2 hours on a direct train if all accommodations are booked up and she will just have to wait until someone drops out of uni or something to take their contract over! I’m not a fan of the ambiguity of waiting on the DaDa.

    We are just waiting for funding info and will be calling to book as soon as / if DD gets a provisional offer. Out of curiosity what are experiences with funding? I know one forum members DD received theirs at the eleventh hour last year! Also what are people thoughts on average weekly costs for food etc? Do most get the same from their parents or have you noticed a large variation?

    We got our original offer in December then this follow up today, DD accepted in December as it’s her first choice, exciting to see some movement!

    DD had an email earlier asking for her to sign up to the BIMM site (link in email) to receive the formal offer, potentially in peoples spam or they could be sending them in batches 🙂

    Has everyone with first year offers managed to log in to the new Bimm site ok? We are already on there as DD has an offer at performers too but I can’t see anything in there for NBS as yet.

    Thank you this is very handy info!

    Congratulations to your DS!! 🥳

    What about the feeling your DD got when at them all, for example, when we went to bird DD said it’s not that she didn’t like it, it’s like she was looking around someone else college, like it just wasn’t for her, whereas she saw herself at performers and NBS, she felt like she could be part of them and I think that counts for a lot 😊

    -Cost difference (if any) -how easy / costly to travel home -closeness of accommodation to college -course available eg MT and Dance or just dance etc -Previous graduates employment -facilities near the college -facilities in the college

    I have DCs in different schools, one charges £45 flat rate and the other charges per outfit hire so usually in excess of £100 upto around £150 is the most that school has charged

    We always seem to get our post a day after everyone else!
  14. Hairpinseverywhere
    Oh 🤞🏼 maybe some news today! Did your DD audition at the other schools yet or are they still to come?
  15. Hairpinseverywhere
    The waiting is awful, it’s nice that it will be a letter though, there’s something about it being on paper and opening the envelope that’s different to opening an email, plus a parents is usually around when a letter is opened to support either way! Hopefully Monday will bring you some news 🙂
  16. Hairpinseverywhere
    Have you had any news yet? 😊
  17. Hairpinseverywhere
    We have booked to view early Feb, 44weeks at Dwell MSV with en-suite is very similar price to the 51week option at New Medlock with non en-suite so wanting to weigh up if the smaller space is worth it for the en-suite perk! Will let you know what we find!

    DD added I should say there was no ensemble singing on the day.
  19. Hairpinseverywhere
    Oh Good Luck to your DS! DD didn’t sing at the audition, Dance solo only no song or monologue. There was a mix of contemporary, jazz and ballet solos on her audition day. Hope this helps.
  20. Hairpinseverywhere
    DD asked, around how much do the laundry facilities cost per wash as she’s working out her budget, if anyone could advise that would be perfect either NM or MSV 🙂 Thank you
  21. Hairpinseverywhere
    Did they give any indication of how long it would be until they let your DD know? I don’t have experience of Wilkes I’m afraid!
  22. Hairpinseverywhere
    Does your DD used the gym facilities at MSV at all? @Mjdb
  23. Hairpinseverywhere
    Does anyone have any tips on what to take and what not to take when moving into the halls? I know there are plenty of generic lists online but wondered if anyone had any experiences to share 🙂
  24. Hairpinseverywhere
    Oh Congrats to your DD!! 👏🏼 I contacted US and they said accommodation can be booked and if DD is unsuccessful in gaining funding, then cancelled FOC. I think you just need to let them know it’s for NBS. We are making plans to go and view some of the accommodations so DD can see her options.
  25. Hairpinseverywhere
    I don’t have any direct experience with Stella Mann. DD auditioned there recently and it was pleasant enough. From reading other threads KS Dance seem to have a strong ballet focus with the option to specialise. Sorry I can’t be of any more help but I’m sure others will be able to add.
