A great school. Could be slightly better organised. Not perfect, but everything is done with good intentions, to help you be prepared and the best you can be. I love DSL so much. Well worth the audition! UWL isn’t the best in terms of accommodation- my year in halls was horrendous - but I dealt with it because DSL made it worth it.

The main building is small and old-fashioned but with lots of character. Mainly use other buildings during COVID to ensure space for social distancing. Everything is clean and well-maintained. It’s a small school within UWL but UWL services and spaces are available. Could do with better spaces to eat! Lovely garden area.

Pretty good. The staff are generally pretty good at listening to concerns. There are extra classes to support neuro-diverse students, and tutorials to check out well-being. Of course, there are still areas for improvement. Not all staff have an understanding of anxiety.

Amazing contact hours (6 hours per day, 5 days per week when in-person, still had 3 hours a day online). 1 to 1 with a personal tutor every week. Full-time actor training to prepare you for the industry. Staff always make time for you and listen to your needs. Extra masterclasses and talks take place from time to time.

The school prepares you to be a working actor. That includes supporting yourself financially and looking for opportunities. They have a great industry week and fantastic visitors.

Nice facilities, staff are helpful.

Promises need to be improved.

100 percentage recommend living with someone, it's cheaper.
