Just points out further why it is imperative to talk to SEVERAL CURRENT students because each person brings their personal persepctive to a situation or college. When someone is not happy at a program, that doesn't follow that YOU may not be. Your experience may be very different. I understand it was not working well for that girl. I know a girl who attends CMU who loves it. This same thing could be said almost anywhere. I know kids who have left CCM and CAP21 part way through freshman year even. I know someone who is at Emerson who is leaving after one year. And so it goes. These programs are not for everyone. As well, some programs don't fit each person. That is why I am SO glad my D talked to SEVERAL people in each program, and didn't put too much weight on what any ONE person said about it. And that is even with kids who actually ATTEND and not ones who simply APPLIED.
