My kid applied to and got accepted at Peabody. He liked the school, but wanted a broader exposure to other classes. He got his undergrad at BU. But if he had applied to NU and gotten acceoted, he would have chosen that, I’m sure. He is a brass player. Their brass studio is very strong.

He chose his college cased on the private studio teacher. He was acceoted to Peabody, NE Conservatory, U of North Texas, The Hartt School, Dusquesne, and Boston University. He chose BU because the private teacher there was terrific and he wanted to be in a large city. He really liked the teacher at UNT as well…but not the location.

Your kid needs to look at the whole package. As a string player…look at the strength of the orchestra as well. And the orchestra conductors. And my kid also,says…look at the chamber music opportunities.
