Non-Audition Schools Question

<p>My safeties are non-audition schools. I am wondering about the quality of the education/training compared to audition schools. Teachers as well as fellow classmates.
The ones on my list are:
Brandeis, Northeastern and Drew. Would love some feedback.</p>

<p>Brandeis has a great theater dept, encourages double majors, lots of smart kids, lovely facilities-- not lots of acting/movement/voice and speech classes though. Northeastern has had a pretty meh dept., but they seem to be moving up a bit lately and seem to be hiring terrific directors for student shows.</p>
