U of T University College Summer Drama for International Students — Theatre

My daughter attended the U of T University College Summer Drama program this past July, and overall, she had a solid experience. She was part of the Acting track, where she was able to create a short play with a group of just eight students, allowing for a lot of personalized instruction from the instructor, Sarah. My daughter really thrived in this small setting and even made a couple of friends from different countries. The final performance showcased the creativity and hard work of the participants, which was great to see. However, the tuition fee felt steep, especially with additional costs for optional activities. Also, the drop-off process on the first day was a bit chaotic, but we got through it. If your teen is interested in the performing arts and can handle the price tag, I’d recommend this program as a great opportunity to develop skills and make international connections.

My child attended the U of T University College Summer Drama program this July, and overall, it was a positive experience. The focus on theatre and performance arts was clear, and my son, an outgoing teenager, thrived in this environment. He joined the acting track, and the instructors, particularly a passionate teacher named Sarah, really fostered creativity while keeping the atmosphere structured. He built a fantastic scene that he was proud to showcase at the end of the session. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which I appreciated. However, the $6,500 price tag was steep, especially when we found out that there were additional costs for some specialized workshops. This made the budget a bit tighter than expected. Despite the expense, the engaged staff and creative projects made it worthwhile. His confidence has blossomed, and he's made some great friends. I would recommend this program, but I advise other parents to plan for those potential extra costs.
