I just want to thank all of you! You have given us such great insight, and “Paying 3Tuitions”, You’re absolutely right (!) my son is a “Renaissance Man” --Great name, btw.
Since my post, he’s expressed that he does want to take these courses and, however, also declared that “International Relations” will more likely be his Major! =D (lol) (its almost like all those times he changed Halloween costumes on me!) Probably the pressure for our seniors to suddenly “declare” their majors before embarking on their freshman year is too great. He’ll likely take physics courses, with other “extraneous” courses, along with theater, hopefully with a bend toward musical theater.

Interestingly enough, my major was Poli Sci. ( + psych. minor) and although I would have loved to have gone on to Columbia or Western (London, Ontario) for International Relations, I didn’t~ and ended up in law school (didn’t love the practice of law… ) So I hope my Son realizes his dreams one of these days, and I’m just elated that he has all of this passion and drive that he does.


BTW, we are visiting Cornell tomorrow morning (a general information session/tour); he’s seen Northwestern (liked it verymuch); NYU (but we know that Tisch would eliminate the chance for him to take many other courses outside MT); and Brown (not interested). Also planning a trip out to U. of Michigan in the fall. That’s all he’s got.
thanks again!
