MA Theatre Directing Schools

Hi!

I am an international student looking to study drama/directing this fall and I am between Royal Holloway (RHUL), University of East Anglia (UEA), and Birkbeck University. All three seem like good schools with equal set of pro's and con's and I truly don't know which one to choose. I loved my interview with the UEA program director but Norwich seems so far away from London whereas RHUL and Birkbeck are closer. It's also hard as an international student to know which programs are more regarded in the field.

Any advice, comments, or thoughts are appreciated! Especially if you are in the drama programs of these schools!

Thanks!
