Drama schools have more openings and options then university. This is because drama school are more built around fresh young talent looking to get into the industry. If souts have the options to go look for new talent at a drama school or  university, they would choose to go to good a drama school. This means you have a better  chance at be scouted. Don't get me wrong you can be scouted at university it is just a bit harder then it is at drama school. 

These are some other advantages from going to drama school:

• The most valuable degree in performing arts one can possibly get
• Great training for all types of performers, particularly actors
• Opportunities to meet important industry people and create strong connections
• Final year graduate showcases attract a lot of good talent agents
• Agents and casting directors value actors with drama school training more ( This relates to what I said just above.

However there are always disadvantages to going anywhere, here are some for drama school:

• 
  
• Extremely busy class schedule and a lot of homework;
• No time to audition for acting jobs or work to support yourself;
• Very expensive
• No preparation on the business and marketing side of acting;
• Very difficult to get accepted;
• Some additional training (acting lesson) is still recommended after graduation. This means even more money 

Normally, classes in drama schools take place strictly from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Students are expected to do their homework research and written assignments  during their free time for monthly exams. Weekends are reserved for rehearsals among students themselves for exam productions.
