marylandgirl and taxguy - thanks for your comments. I just sent you a PM marylandgirl before I saw these posts. First, when is admitted students day? My daughter received a very basic acceptance package with no mention of this. I just went online to schedule a tour during her spring break and spoke to someone in the art department to set up a tour the same day of the fine arts building. I’ve read about the housing and some comments made it sound like there are more problems for out of staters. I hope this isn’t the case. As long as it’s guaranteed the first two years, I don’t see that as as issue since most kids move into apartments by junior year anyway. I think all schools at this point are going to have some kind of issues because of the incredible increase in enrollment over the past several years. I just hope my daughter loves the school when we visit since she suddenly decided she doesn’t want to go to a stand alone art school which are her two other acceptances at this point, although she seems to change her mind day to day.

Some comments I’ve read about the school made it sound like the academics weren’t that challenging but it sound like this isn’t the case from your posts. I’m not terribly concerned about this aspect - my main concern for this daughter, who is more artsy and less into academics, is that she’s in an environment that she feels she fits into and that she’s happy. And if she’s happy, I’m very happy.
