<p>Wow! It’s amazing how emotionally invested people are in this. It’s interesting to see people’s perspectives on what’s important in choosing a school. No one would argue being in the heart of NYC gives the kids a huge advantage; access to broadway, ability to audition and work after their first year, faculty that are actively working in the business, contacts, agents, additional training opportunities in the city itself, not to mention adapting to a super competitive environment early on, and life in the city, which will give them an advantage when auditioning in the world of theatre and film. There are many paths to the same place and everyone will have a unique and hopefully successful experience, but Tisch clearly has one of the strongest programs in the country and when combined with it’s location and academic reputation, makes it #1 in my and many other people’s opinions.
