Review of Berklee College of Music

from Butte, MT

Describe your college in three sentences.

Warm, accepting atmosphere. Knowledgeable, well-connected staff. Excellent location.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do your research before you audition. Read student blogs and learn from their auditions. Be prepared to work hard but because you love music, it won't feel like work...mostly.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I attended the summer program in 2011. There was alot to it but everyone helped each other which made the program really fun. I hear the curriculum is rigorous but definitely worth the effort.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I stayed in the dorms for the summer program. The other participants come from everywhere but all have the same love of music. Typical dorm beds but the rooms were nice sized and in a really cool location.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Loved those cheesy eggs!!!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Chill in jam sessions, explore Boston, sing, sing, sing!

You can't put a price on the pursuit of passion! I believe wholeheartedly that Berklee is worth every penny.
