Escape is one of my choices due to its amazing reputation and studio professionalism. As far as I can tell the studio specialises in game design, which is not the field I want to go into but game design uses the same high quality animation techniques films do and they teach animation here. Escape is ranked highly on the International University list for Animation also!

When it comes to accommodation there are 3 options; live in private halls, commute from home or live in a private shared flat or house. The only problem with this is living in London can be rather expensive and I will be training in the heart of the city of London Campus so food, leisure etc wont be cheap! Although there is amazing access to all areas of the country and amazing sights, shops and areas to visit. The fees being £9,250 per year for 2021/2022 entry.
