Turns our my daughter doesn’t want to apply for it–sigh. At first glance it seemed like you just have to answer the questions and show your audition tape or example or whatever but upon further reading there are some commitments she didn’t want to lock herself into related to performing arts while at the school and she wasn’t sure how intense that would be while trying to adjust to school. It didn’t seem like much to me, but you know kids these days lol

Well, it’s only a small amount of money, and it seems like there are a ton of other clubs and activities if performing arts are not a big draw for your kid.
Mine, on the other hand, would be going mostly for the performing arts – and if she has to go to classes and actually study, well, fine. 
(I’m kidding but there’s a half truth in there, lol!)

One of the first things that drew D26 to RIT was the ArtEx program.
That is what got her to deep dive into this school and then she found so many other awesome things!!
Signed up for the info session on that for early next month.
Sounds so cool and perfect for her!!
Even at the recent open house- she had more questions about the darkrooms- glass blowing- ceramics… than she did for her prospective major 
.
When she saw the textile room in the SHED- she nearly died!

I don’t think we saw the textile room specifically – OMG. Mine would be all about that, too! She loves to sew. We also geeked out over the “glass box theatre.”
Unfortunately, if my D26 is admitted to the New Media Design major that she applied to, she can’t do ArtEx – because it’s not open to students already in the college of Art and Design.
But I’m sure she’d find clubs and opportunities to be creative regardless, lol.

If anyone interested in RIT is going to be in NYC, go take a picture in front of their billboard and send it in to get a prize pack.
