@CaMom13, he has not decided on BA or BFA as of yet, he is thinking the best way to go is BFA but thought maybe visiting some schools and talking to folks may help him figure that part out. As far as the rest, we are looking at schools right now that have different styles but maybe similar feel. He would like them to have a cross country team if possible, he may not be able to be a part of the team, but would love to be able to have the course available to run on, that’s how he gets focused and lets out some stress when needed. He has looked at a few in or near the NYC but figured they are highly competitive and while on his list, he will send in audition tapes and see what happens and cross his fingers. He is a bit on the practical side and while he enjoys taking the risk, he prefers to have a plan and a backup just in case. Please don’t let that seem as if he’s not all in, he just likes to know that everything will work out.
