Thanks for the suggestion:

I’ve heard that Point Park has a great up and coming Acting program, but it’s just okay. Their MT and dance programs are great, but there isn’t anything special about their Acting. I want to go somewhere that challenges me, and I’m worried that Point Park won’t. However, I know Point Park is a great school to have on your resume.

On the other hand, I’ve heard that UArts is looked down upon in the “real world” and that you don’t get taken seriously if you went there, is that true as well?

Is there kind of a division or stigma agains the acting majors from the MT majors? At Point Park, it seemed like “O, hai. I’m a MT major and better than the actors” whereas at UArts, everyone seemed to get along.

At Point Park, are you able to take music theory and private voice your freshman year?

Thanks so much!
