Wow, thank you so much for all the suggestions! I’ll definitely look into them!
I’ve heard some things about UW-Stevens Point, and being able to stay close to home would be great for personal and financial reasons, so it’s definitely on my list! I’d just have to find out more about its opportunities and program and etc. Overall, I’m just looking for a place with a great program and a good community. New school sounds like it could be a really good fit for me, so I’ll have to look more into it! And taking some writing classes would be really great, but I’m more interested in acting than I am in writing (writing is more of a passionate hobby of mine that I’d ~like~ to attempt to make something out of, but not too fixed on it; so an attraction of calarts was that I’d be able to take one or two of their renowned writing classes).
