<p>What I think works best on a message forum about colleges is for one to articulate why they chose the school, or type of program that they did. What doesn’t work as well is when people (I’m talking about many people and not a certain person now) post that Acting training is better than MT training or British training is better than American training or stand alone conservatory training is better than a BFA in a university with some liberal arts requirements, or BFAs are better than BAs, or X college is better than Y college and…well, you get the idea. It is better to explain the choices one has made for him/herself and why those choices fit their preferences and share experiences. Problems arise when comparisons crop up of what is better than something else. What is BEST is what is best for oneself. Share an experience, a school, a path and why it has worked well for you and what it is a good choice for yourself. That is an approach that works well on message boards. It is threads that compare what is better, that can be problematic.</p>
