| Drew is one of those unknown treasures, at least on the West Coast. It does not have a BFA program but the theater program is wonderful. The New Jersey Shakespeare Theater is located there and there apparently is quite a bit of interaction with the students (or so I have been told). They have great semesters abroad and a senior internship in NY with any number of theaters. The campus itself is absolutey beautiful and you sort of get the best of both worlds because it is a real campus in a great small town about 30 minutes from NYC by train. Our college counselor told us about it and when we looked at it we were very impressed. They have a really interesting philosophy about requirements too-it is worth looking at their site. My sense is that it is one of those LACs that is just starting to get national attention. My D is actually very excited about their program. When she received her acceptance, there was a lovely handwritten note from the head of admissions which made the whole process seem very personal. I think she is going to do an overnight there in April as well. Best of luck to you! Oh I keep meaning to ask, how did your s like CMU summer? my D had a blast! |
