Hi. We are really stuck trying to decide which program to accept. My S is a songwriter and was accepted into both amazing programs. Pros and Cons for each program. Berklee gave him a generous scholarship and NYU nothing yet. We live in Brooklyn, but he would live in the dorms at school. So much money. Yet, it is a university vs a music school. So the education will be better.
The issue is he is afraid to leave NYC and miss out on all the connections and gigs. He is under the impression that Boston just doesn’t have the same opportunities as NY.
Boston has pluses like he will actually live in a new city. Has friends at other universities there and would possibly have a more college-like experience in a city school.
Anyone out there have experience at either of these schools? Any insight would be welcome.
