Brown and NU are different on many levels. Both are excellent each in their own way, and they have overlap too. What exactly are your D’s goals immediately upon graduation? What are her goals while in school?





Hello Connections you’re probably asking me a rhetorical question, but I’ll take a stab at it anyway. In short, D wants to burn it at both ends - 24/7 - within a like-minded community of bright, artistic theater kids. Beyond college, I don’t think she or we really know where this will lead.

As parents, were a bit freaked that she is pursuing theater (We met in engineering school) instead of law medicine, etc… but we’re embracing her ambitions. I think a good liberal arts education in the theater is as good as any other path to learn about society, yourself and how you fit in to society - and pick up some great life skills. Her passion and hard work in high school has given us some level of comfort that she’ll figure things out and realize her independence even with a ‘soft’ undergrad major.
