<p>hoveringmom, yes, my daughter also applied to Temple (back in the fall and has the acceptance already, so that is a comfort going into the auditions.) It is a good acting program–and every Temple acting student and acting alum she has talked to has nothing but praise for the program. It’s also a state school, which is a financial bonus for us. Of course, she would prefer to leave town for college, if possible. She also applied to Barnard, Bard, and some other LACs that were recommended for their theater arts programs. But Temple will be much more affordable.</p>
