I'm a theatre student here and this program is amazing! It's intense, but extremely satisfying. You go to each theatre class with the same people and you build a great trust that allows you to do really great work with each other. All the theatre faculty are there to encourage you and give you information about the professional world. They always have their doors open if you ever want to ask a question, and all their criticism is constructive. They understand the realities of doing theatre professionally and they make sure you understand them too. They can be harsh, but it's all to make you better.
The core classes can be on the easy side. They aren't very challenging, but the teachers are engaging and the class sizes are small enough that discussion is always on the lesson plan. There is a lot to be learned in a class discussion. The classes to choose from can be really interesting as well such as: history of rock and roll, or the jazz experience.
Theatre and Fashion are the largest majors at the school, and they are the best programs to enroll in. Otherwise, this college can leave a little lacking in the academic department.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
It's located in the middle of downtown. 2 blocks away from a large co-ed university, 2 blocks away from any and all shops/restaurants, and 2 blocks away from a beautiful lake/park. Pets are allowed on campus, and in dorms. There's always something artsy going on, and the people are really friendly.
A lot of the girls (it's a women's college) go home on weekends their first semester, so it can be pretty quiet around campus, and hard if you're from out of state. But it quickly gets better and easier!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Expensive school, but the amount of financial aide available makes it about the same price as in state tuition to a public university.
Get the lowest meal plan--you get the same amount of flex points no matter what. And it's cheaper to go buy your own groceries then it is to eat in the commons.
The food is looking up! They've had more options this year and they're trying to make it healthier. They offer vegan and vegetarian options as well. There's always a fresh salad bar.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be scared to meet people and get involved. All the clubs and activities are really fun, and everyone wants more members. The leadership scholarship helps with that as well.
Make nice with your RA in case you have roommate troubles, because everyone is required to share a room unless you bring a pet. But roommates are usually pretty great!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Artists
Fashion
Theatre
Musical
Film
Independent Women!!!
