I have got two Unconditional Offers from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and Middlesex University. Central have offered me a place on the BA (Hons) Writings for Performance Degree, while Middlesex have offered me a place on the BA (Hons) Creative Writing and Journalism degree. For the past year-and-a-half, I have been writing my own musical, which is much more theatre-based. While I believe at this moment that that is the area of writing that I want to go into, I have also written private non-written books and articles in the past, and am worried about committing myself to a particular field too quickly, and that I might change my mind (as I feel like generally I’ve had a habit of doing in the past). I feel like the course at Middlesex might be more broad, and better for me long-term. However, through visiting Middlesex twice, I’ve just never felt like I could see myself there for some reason. I think the building is very big and overwhelming. In contrast, I found Central much less intimidating, and feel like I might be happier in that environment. I don't know what the class sizes at Middlesex would be, but I do know that the class sizes at Central are small (around 15), which may give me more support, and suit my learning style. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do, and what factors (the course itself or happiness + learning style should be the ones that help me make the choice?
