Northeast colleges with good music programs & academics

Look into the opportunities available at the University of Rochester for the students enrolled at its main campus (i.e., not in Eastman).

Though it’s just outside the Northeast, Oberlin’s arts-and-sciences college’s changing relationship with the conservatory may benefit non-conservatory students.

Several Northeastern LACs would be top-notch for music and academics — though, while often beautifully green, they tend to be offset from major cities.
