<p>As I am currently transferring out of a conservatory style BFA for this very reason, my one regret was not getting an honest opinion from the current students and an honest feel for what the social enviorment is like. All the tour guides told me it was a huge love fest, only to find that it was an extremely competitive atmosphere, with constant favoritism in student directed productions, as well as very simple minded students who only thought of themselves. Back in high school, I would have sworn up and down that I would deal with any hurdle, like not being happy at a school, or being a lone, just to get the “best training” to become the “best actor” I can be. I never realized that being unhappy at a school can start to effect your performance as an actor, whether you want it or not. </p>
<p>Anyways, I really wished someone had sat my high school self down and encouraged me to consider the entire school, not just the Theatre program. So I would definitely recommend asking about social life (not saying party life, just social 
) and the overall atmosphere of the students in and outside of the program.</p>
