My oldest daughter will graduate from NYU this spring and was in Meisner her first two years. Her experience was a good one overall. She loved her teachers, made terrific friends and learned a lot, felt challenged etc… Vicki, the head of the studio, is awesome and her speech teacher Gigi was particularly fabulous. The kids really bond to one another. The performance opportunities within Meisner are very limited but NYU/Tisch has lots of options for kids to get involved. The expense is enormous, really enormous, and several of her friends had to leave because of the cost.
