EmmyBet: your replies are always thoughtful and helpful (as are your private messages). Of course it is always about fit. A school can seem wonderful on its website, even ideal when visiting (which we likely will in two weeks), but there is a leap of faith involved even after long hours of research.

The website seems to state that there are 2 bus stops on the edge of the campus which then take you to the NYC subway system as well as to several LI rail stations (as you indicated). I will confirm that.

We expect to visit both Adelphi and LIU in the same day. As the two of us have discussed, my D will prefer a curriculum with fewer required courses outside of her acting major. It “appears” as if LIU does require fewer such courses, but I’ll have to verify that when visiting.

Ideally it should be about the program, but I’m not the one making the final choice. My D would prefer to be in the city, which is why she loves BU, and will likely love UArts when we visit as part of that same trip. Being very close to a city, like Adelphi and LIU, might satisfy here. I hope she is pleased with the visit to Hartt (one of my favorites), but Hartford may not be her preferred location. We’ll know more in the coming weeks.

Again, thanks for your comments!
