I tend to agree with @collegemom3717. Great school, but as is true with any other great school that is extremely expensive, if you graduate with significant debt and have to work long hours to pay your loans, you’re not going to have time to even audition for roles when you graduate. You could get a job in a related field so that you can network while you work (casting agent office, entry level theater administration job, etc), but remember that if you get a day job, you’re not available during the day to audition, and if you get a night job, you’re not available at night for some pretty awesome low-to-no-pay performance experiences that couldn’t cover your loans.
