I know next to nothig about the drama department, but I was a music major there a million years ago. The good new about the department is that it shares a lot of faculty with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. My viola teacher was on the faculty there, as well as at SFSU.
The drawbacks would be similar to many a state university, large class sizes and less personal attention, plus the cutbacks that all the CSU's have faced.

San Francisco is a blast of a city for young people, and there are great cultural events there; take advantage of student rush tickets for the opera and symphony. There are many theatre groups all over the Bay Area, and you will be able to see some fine performances- check out the Lamplighter's Gilbert and Sullivan productions as well as other delights.

Good luck in all your academic and artistic endeavours! PM me if you have any questions!

oh, and as far as west coast schools go try:

UCLA, CSUF, USC (mt certificate program)

they've already been mentioned, but i thought i'd reiterate the fact that they do offer good mt education here on the west coast, and that is useful if you want to end up here. San Francisco and LA have professional theatre opportunities, as well as smaller theatre companies scattered throughout the west.

good luck!

Hey LizMT. I saw on another post you were transfering schools- why is that?

LizMT

I am transfering because CSUF is just not the right fit for me.
I can elaborate more on a private message.
I know many students who are more than happy at CSUF. It is purely a personal choice.
