<p>This is a very interesting discussion and the very same one is now taking place in our home as the acceptances (and rejections) are arriving. So far, D has acceptances to all types being discussed: MT conservatory, MT BFA “conservatory-like” in a small university, and BA Theatre in a university (one medium and one HUGE). Much to my surprise, she is now (still) struggling with which would be most suitable for her in the long run; there are benefits for each type which have already been eloquently stated in previous posts!</p>
