“King’s changed my perspective on everything”
Laura Trosser (OK 2012)
Laura attended King’s on a 100% bursary from the age of 16 to 18. One of the first cohort of girls in the sixth form, she took the IB and then studied Comparative Literature at Harvard. After doing a Master of Fine Arts degree at LAMDA, she is now a professional actor.
King’s had a massive impact on me. My experience was really shaped by the staff and the level of pastoral care. I felt really cared for. The teachers had the capacity to look after you that extra bit, especially at that important time in your life when you’re considering your next steps.
Going to Harvard would never have crossed my mind before but King’s changed my perspective on everything. It gave me confidence and opened the doors that led to me going to America for four years – travelling more, engaging with the arts more and feeling more secure in myself. I can't claim to be the world's most successful actor yet but King’s gave me the confidence to give things a go.
At my Harvard interview I remember being asked “what are you most proud of from the past year?” My answer was that I was proud of making the most of all the opportunities at King’s. I loved doing the IB, took part in every play, staged Caligula at the Edinburgh Fringe and did two weeks’ teaching in Zambia. When I applied to King’s it seemed such a far-fetched idea so once I was there I thought: “I've got two years in this amazing place. I have to do everything wholeheartedly” – and I did.
