The audio program here is phenomenal. The on campus studios are well equipped and kept up to date with the latest equipment. My audio professors and studio assistants know the subject inside and out and have been an absolute pleasure to work with. That being said, the business program is pretty average - not that it's bad, but it feels lacking, especially in comparison to the audio program.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I live in one of the four dorm buildings, and during the week, I definitely enjoy being here. My class schedule is great and there's enough work to keep me busy and enough people around to keep it interesting. The weekends living on campus are a little boring though since there isn't much around unless you want to take the LIRR to New York City.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Take one look at the studios on campus, and you'll see where all your tuition money is going to. The console in Studio A is especially impressive and the collection of microphones we have access to is better than most I'll end up using in most the average professional studio.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The audio program is intense - do not fall behind in Audio 101 - Audio Recording Theory. Don't just memorize the facts and repeat them back. Make sure you really understand it, since the rest of the program is built on those basic fundamental concepts. The teachers are willing to help if you find yourself struggling and there's an abundance of tutors available in the academic support office.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Audiophiles, musicians, and film kids will find themselves right at home here.
