Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Yes Ithaca and Skidmore are on the consideration list too, and she does want to visit Berklee to get a feel for a “non-LAC” option. There are so many good programs, and yes there’s a great deal to be found on the school web sites, but a real benefit of this forum seems to be the actual experiences of students/parents. That’s where I thought we might find some first-hand advice re “yes, such-and-such college has a studio that students use all the time, and the recording arts students volunteer their time!” or “sure there is a studio but it’s only open to conservatory students … or only used for the college recording visiting artists”, etc.
