<p>My daughter says that MENU is really, really hard and no Theatre/MT major she knows has ever continued past 2 terms as each program requires 110% commitment. Most become so frustrated with the MENU program that once they dropped the MENU program they no longer took any math. She says there are so many options in the math department and she didn’t take the MENU program because her AP credits took her into multivariable calculus as a Freshman and she’s taken advanced math classes every term until this coming term when she’ll be a Junior, she also finds math fun and relaxing.</p>
<p>She also says getting into the MT program adds stress to your Freshman year (which I’ve already explained numerous times) and why add to the pressure with the MENU program. As a non-MENU math person she was able to put as much or little effort into her math classes as she wanted, using it as a diversion but not adding additional stress. If your daughter wants to keep math as a relaxing alternative she’s better off, in my daughters opinion, choosing the math classes that work for her, not those pre-determined by the MENU program.</p>
<p>Not from my daughter, but I know there are scheduling conflicts all the time with Theatre classes and non-theatre classes and I’m not sure how that fits with the MENU program. I know my daughter had to arrange to miss one of the small break out groups for one of her math classes because she had her acting class at the same time. She spoke to the professor and they worked it out, don’t know how that would work in a more structured program.</p>
<p>Finally, your daughter can double major in almost anything she might want to but being in the MENU program and the Theatre program would not allow her the same flexibility that might be needed for a double major. Why add stress when you can get much or even more of the same enjoyment from a self-designed program?</p>
