Thanks to everyone who replied!

To better explain the situation, as soozievt said, I applied to a bunch of MT schools unsure of what I really wanted, was rejected by all of them (CCM, BOCO, CMU, NYU, UCLA), and was left with one school. I got a scholarship at the school so everything isn’t all bad I do like the school, that is definitely not the problem.

The problem is I grew up 20 minutes away from the school, and my parents believe it to be beneficial for me to live at home until I can afford an apartment. The housing on campus is ridiculous! Also, the school is great, but it doesn’t really “fit” me. I love california, lived here all my life, but I am looking for a more urban, east-coast enviroment for my college years. Not to mention something with my intended major (BFA MT, or BM VP)

Anyways, thank you all for the inspiring words. Absolutely, if you knew me, you would know I am going to make the best of this. I have already signed up for an acting class and private voice lessons. I did an internship at a professional theatre company over the summer, and now I am gathering possible audition material, just in “case” i decide in november, “Hey I want to audition!”.

Looking back, I really wish I would have applied to NYU Steinhardt-Vocal Perf. Music Theatre. It is a perfect program for me, alas I had no knowledge of it the first time around.

I am going to try to take a theory class my first semester to see what that’s like. Started piano a few months ago. Any other advice anyone has would be helpful.

Thanks for the responses!

Oh, yes, the weather is really nice, I am spoiled :)
