| Vieuxtemps -- I recall you saying it would be a drag to commute from Columbia to Juilliard -- just think how much more difficult it would be to commute from Princeton. Princeton also has very rigorous academic requirements, including a junior and senior thesis ("the quintessential Princeton experience") which would make it nigh on impossible to keep up music at a high level for all but the rare student. Columbia-Juilliard has a big attrition rate too. Of the Ivy's Yale and Harvard are probably the most musician friendly -- Harvard is also located in an area where it would be relatively easy to find good music teachers. |
