<p>Regarding housing -
d1 is in her third year at Tisch, currently studying abroad. She was very lucky her first year to get in one of the apartment buildings near Union Square, which is only 5 minutes from Cap. Last year they changed the freshmen living opportunities. They still offer a couple dorm situations (near Washington Square) and for apartment style they have made Third North exclusively for freshmen. It is a new lovely building and only about a 10 minute walk to Cap. In the past when you sign up for housing, they would at least let you pick dorm style versus apartment style. Anyone last year selecting “apartment style” ended up at Third North.</p>
<p>Regarding minors and double majors -
Many of my daughters friends are pursuing other areas including: english; history and computer science (yes he is one busy guy!). You can begin this process in your second year. Those that strictly follow the curriculum for Tisch and take no other classes are able to graduate one semester early. For those that have a reasonable amount of AP’s with 5’s (for some courses they take a 4), can graduate a year early. This is how it becomes possible to minor or double.<br>
My d had this option and did not take it. Originally she was going to double major and decided she wanted to study out of the country and take a variety of classes that would help her become a more well rounded performer/director/writer.
So unlike most conservatories, there are several options.</p>
