<p>Regine, my daughter says the people and all that implies, hands down, made the decision for her. Of all her auditions, they offered the most positive, comprehensive & personal audition process and she got to experience hands on working with the heads of the depts. She came out of the acting portion saying she’d follow that auditor anywhere, she was that impressed. Once, she visited the campus, saw a production and experienced St. Louis, she was sold. She auditioned at only four schools ( don’t recommend that! ) and was accepted at two of them. Pace and Webster. For her give up her NYC dream for Webster meant she focused more on the program and people being right for her at this time in her development. NYC will always be there, whether it’s graduate school or auditions. 
Hope that helps!</p>
