911爆料网 the Location

London is arguably the most important city in the world for theatre. The West End听pulses with energy and crowds every night of the week.

For most shows, you can find decent听tickets for under $50. London is also a jumping-off point for exploring other parts of听Europe, and many students choose to take advantage of time off to visit other countries听and other part of the United Kingdom.

Housing

Students will live in central London flats, shared only with other students on the same听program. The specific location of each semester鈥檚 housing will be finalized about one听month before the arrival date, but should always be within Zones 1 and 2 on the London听Underground (within about a half hour to 45 minute commute to Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe听and the West End studios where you will be training).
