my friend’s bright son graduated in three years and was very happy living around Boston…he has since moved to starving artist jobs in Nashville but he is very resilient and creative and will bounce. He is a guitarist. I recall a New Yorker story on Gillian Welch and her short Berklee career…it is a truism that a significant portion of students don’t finish and pick up gigs instead. Campus is quite scattered BTW but there is some discounted housing in a precious district.
If you want conservatory…take a good look at Blair in Nashville where Edgar Meyer and other instrumentalists are on the faculty…also Belmont College in Nashville has a good music business/recording track. Vandy is a tough entry and an expensive school but they are very good with financial aide. Keep in mind that there are vagrants getting off the Greyhound bus daily who can play the guitar like nobody’s business in Nashville plus studio musicians playing all the clubs. GREAT TOWN for classical or new age. LOVE Nashville.
