Information for New Students

Hello!

Congratulations and welcome to East 15 Acting School!


We are so excited that you are joining us for your training. In order to get yourself ready for your time here, there are a number of key things you will need to know. The majority of these will be sent to you personally in emails either from us, or from University teams. 

Getting ready for life at East 15

Accommodation - Loughton

Our Loughton East 15 students live and study in the local area and our Student Services Team are here to help with any questions you may have. Choose between a shared house, living with a landlord or letting a whole house.

If you have any questions, or want to be linked up with fellow students looking to share housing, contact our Student Services Team.

You can also meet further Loughton Campus 2022-23 new starters in the Living in Loughton Facebook Group.

Accommodation - Southend

University Square is the on-site accommodation at our Southend Campus. Just a 2 minute walk to the main Gateway Building and Town Centre and a 5 minute walk to our Clifftown Theatre, University Square flats all have en suite bathrooms and shared kitchens. There is also a large common room, launderette and courtyard.
