Yes, the lodging wasn't spectacular (show me a college dorm that is) and yes, my daughter said the food was hit and miss (similar to most) but she loved the summer experience and will be auditioning in either November or February.

She was disappointed in the role she got, but felt it was dealt with fairly and she would really like to attend. The days were very long, but as one other person said, that's MT.

And for the person who didn't like it, that's what the program is for too. I told my daughter that the program was to see how she stacked up against other good kids, to see how OCU teachers liked her and to see if she liked the campus/school. Oh yeah, and I didn't tell her we wanted to test her being away from home.

I think she came away feeling she stacked up well, the teachers did like her and appreciate her hard work and she liked the school. She learned some things she needs to work harder on and got some valuable tips on auditioning, head shots, etc...

Yes, any child can have a bad experience anywhere and there will always be the potential for cliques, but that can happen anywhere. I actually have found MT kids to be among the friendliest and most helpful.
