<p>We visited Belmont for my junior daughter in September and we all loved it. She’s going to Berklee this summer for the vocal summit and stage performance workshop. So I know must definitely be a tough choice for your family.</p>
<p>As someone wisely posted on another thread recently, it’s not a bad idea if - all other things being equal - you let finances be the tiebreaker. If she would love going to either school, which one will allow her to start life with the least amount of debt? It’s a hard path anyway, but heading out into the music world without the weight of student loans around your neck would give her a lot more freedom to pursue her goals without compromise. </p>
<p>Again, I think that’s valid only if you truly feel everything else is equal. Bets of luck in deciding - keep us all posted!</p>
