<p>MomCares - Just confirmed my thoughts with my daughter last night when we were visiting to see her in a show in Chicago - 2 Junior MT students went abroad this past year (it was actually 3 but one dropped out of MT upon returning). Both missed straight theatre classes and MT classes unless they went during Winter term when there is no direct, required MT class so they just missed straight Theatre required classes . Summer is no problem and that is when many kids who really desire to go abroad go. AP credits have no relevance for travel as a MT or straight Theatre kid as it’s the required MT or Theatre classes that are problematic. </p>
<p>I can only say what happens in my daughters’ class who will be Seniors in September and that number is 2.</p>
<p>Our daughters have not had many different experiences at NU, the difference is that my daughter has 3 years experience and yours has one and I see negatives as well as positives to the program, your enthusiasm allows you to see only positives. Do I think NU is a great program and is absolutely the best for my daughter? Absolutely! Does that mean I see no negatives, absolutely not! There are negatives to this program as there are, I’m sure, to most (if not all) colleges.</p>
