@Orion1325 I would have to agree. I have a younger cousin that attends. My son was also accepted literally 4 days after applying and uploading a monologue. Since my cousin has been there, yes she’s been in a few shows as an extra but in Chicago, there are plenty of those to go around. There are a few that actually do very well outside of the temporary what’s happenings around Chicago. I would admit that the campus is cool downtown and the Dorms are AMAZING and you’re surrounded by so many things to do but as a school itself, I know a few that are in the MEH category. I have also linked a Yelp where real students are sharing their recent experience. For the price, I think we will attend another school but perhaps each student is looking for a different outcome
