Welcome, Freshers of 2024 - A Message From Your Student Society

Freshers of 2024, welcome to the Guildford School of Acting (GSA)! We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant community of artists, creators, and innovators.

The GSA Student Society is here to make your experience as enriching and memorable as possible. We organize events, workshops, socials, and networking opportunities that will help you connect with your peers. From Freshers’ Week festivities to regular meet-ups throughout the year, there are countless ways to get involved, make new friends, and create unforgettable memories. We encourage you to dive in with an open mind, embrace every opportunity, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. This is your time to explore, learn, and grow as an artist!

For this Freshers’ Week, we have organised a number of events and activities to help you kickstart your GSA journey. To attend, you will need to get a GSA Freshers wristband via our private Lounge page, it’s like Facebook but better!

Our lounge page is so much more than a page for us to release information it’s for you as GSA Students to connect with your coursemates and the whole of GSA. We have a range of different sub-lounges within the app: GSA FC, GSA Labs, Comedy Night and so many more, join to find out for yourself! Click here to join, learn more about events and book.

Also, don’t forget to join our closed Facebook group “Guildford School of Acting | Freshers ’24" to connect with your coursemates, discover where to get your hands on GSA merchandise, stay updated on events throughout the school year, and directly interact with our society members for any queries you might have.
