You always hear about great programs, but it’s hard to know what feels the best for your student without actually being on campus! What I had my daughter do was sit down one afternoon with a list of approx 25 the schools that I felt might be a good fit for her based on what I’d read here, heard from friends, seen online, etc. I didn’t want this to be MY choice, and I wanted her to put in some of the work as well. What she did was go on YouTube and watched some of their performances and/or showcases. It gave her a glimpse into their program and if she “felt” them. It really helped - especially with some of the previous unknowns like Otterbein and Ball State, who are now on her list.
