pdesmond, I’m confused … I thought you sent your S to Berklee for 3 summer programs and you complained about Berklee after that, why would he go there if it’s this bad?

Does you S find it this way or is this your perspective from a parent’s point-of-view in dealing with college administration?

Berklee is a music school; they never set out to be a luxury hotel, and they do specialize in music, not keeping parents happy. What you’re complaining about are things that Berklee never claimed to have (no medical on campus, no workout facility on campus). After freshman year he can move to an apartment if he doesn’t like the dorms … hopefully then you won’t have to deal with orientation and housing.

By the way, I hope your S does appreciate the music studios, the 1on1 music help, the many fine music groups he can form and join, the access to talented musicians that come there from around the world and the exposure to many of the fine guest artists can stop by campus to teach special sessions throughout the year.
