basketball at escape studios

2

Hi I extremely love playing basketball and would love to continue to in university. Hopefully playing in an organised league ,however to my knowledge there isn't a basketball society in escape studios and there isn't many facilities around escape studios for basketball ( other than one court which cost £40 to rent per hour i believe), is there other ways i could continue playing basketball at escape studios ? Also is there a separate website where i could look through escape studios student union, i want to look through what other extracurricular activates there are rather than the short paragraph of activates on the student life page on the escape studios website.

Escape Studios is one of those highly commercial 'office-block' colleges set up just to make money. It is not a 'University' and therefore doesnt have the same social / sports facilities or provision. If you want that, go to a conventional University. And btw, these 'colleges' have a habit of just going out of business at a moments notice, leaving their students with no way of finishing their courses so remember that going there at all is a big risk.

never really knew that to be honest but i would assume escape studios would be pretty good with business as they're highly rated in many of their course nationally and internationally, i do understand with the sports facilities. It is just one building and their isn't many places around escape studios either but i could join a club outside of escape studios instead.

Hi! Great that you're considering studying with us at Escape Studios. We’ve been running since 2002 and love our new campus in North Greenwich. We have a basketball society, they play basketball ball in the court opposite our campus (https://www.greenwichpeninsula.co.uk/whats-here/design-district-basketball-court ). Students book the court and split the cost between the group. We’re updating our student life pages so keep an eye for more information. You can also connect directly to current students at Escape Studios using The Ambassador Platform - https://www.escapestudios.ac.uk/contact-us/chat-to-students/

Here’s a list of our current students societies: Basketball, Gaming, Badminton, Cosplay, Bouldering, Dance, Film, Tabletop Games, Book, Afro-Caribbean, Music, Anime, Asian, Creative Writing, Chess, Concept Art and Escape Studios FC (Football). You can see some content from our societies on their Instagram channel - https://www.instagram.com/escape_studentexp/?hl=en

New students are also welcome to set-up societies when you join.
