<p>Had to comment after rediscovering this site after a year’s absence - Marjecat we have already chatted about this privately. But I must say that you should be glad that your D decided on Eastman because after having my bassoonist D attend NEC this past year, I wished SHE would have only felt safe walking from the dorm to the school (actually, at NEC that would be across the street) She spent SOOOO much money checking out all the local restaurants, shopping etc. that Boston has to offer that it was killing us. I was PRAYING that a Nor’Easter storm would sock her in for a semester! Best of luck to your daughter!</p>
