I don’t mean for this to sound rude, but compared to what? I think you need to look at the specific program your child is considering (e.g. BFA Acting), check out the curriculum, talk to the current students, talk to the professors, talk to the program director, look at the facilities, check out the productions, inquire about the graduates of the program, consider the special circumstances (e.g. the location, the living arrangements, etc.), look at the costs, etc. After considering all of the above, does it feel like a good fit for your child? What other schools are in consideration? These boards tend to be populated by students and parents who have strong feelings (particularly about the schools they or their children attend) – keep that in mind when they slam MMC or tell you how wonderful other Big Apple schools are… It’s best to do as much primary research as possible (i.e. real data from the school and the students, alumni, faculty and staff) and rely less on the opinions of those with an axe to grind or who may have very little direct experience with MMC. But then again, that’s just my opinion :)
