Hello! I’m currently at Michigan State studying Theatre/Musical Theatre and am looking to transfer to NYU; however, I am concerned about the debt.

My family can cover $30,000 of the cost per year, but no more. I come from a single-parent home ($79,000 income) with three children in college. With these stats, I may receive some financial aid.

Being in the entertainment industry, connections and opportunities are very important to success. Currently at MSU, I am concerned with my future success as we do not receive as many opportunities that are provided at other schools. I believe that the possible debt may be worth it on the long run due to NYU’s prominence as one of the top ten schools for Musical Theatre with a large amount of alumni on Broadway.

Thoughts?
