<p>After much research and many visits, I think Oberlin’s double degree program is unique – because unlike many of the other programs, it is a BA/BMus, not a BA/MM (see, e.g., Juilliard/Columbia, Harvard/NEC, Tufts/NEC), it appears to be a well-supported and valued program at Oberlin (unlike the others mentioned, which accept very few students and then don’t support them), and the location of the Conservatory on the campus and mixing of the Conservatory students with the College students, which makes it physically and socially “doable” (more so than, for example Peabody/JHU or Eastman/U Rochester). There are also loads of practice rooms with light, and innumerable performances. If you decide to include it on your list, I would recommend that you visit and take some lessons, and, if ready, audition at Early Review. The Conservatory also gives merit scholarships to a significant percentage of accepted students.</p>
