@risdgrad88 @starbuck71 Yes, unfortunately BoCo does not have an endowment like the Ivys or even state schools. They are working on this, but probably too late for our family. Believe me we tried everything (you can definitely appeal) but ultimately bit the bullet and did it. We have no regrets even though it is a stretch for our family. I appreciate that the price is the price - there aren’t a lot of nickel and dime fees for lessons, studio rentals, etc. My daughter is MT and she has a lot of crossover with the Contemp Theater kids - they’re in the shows, same classes, etc. The school is well connected in the industry and productions come to them for casting (this is true of many, maybe all schools, but it is very prominent at BoCo.) There’s a high concentration of theaters in the area and many kids audition and get industry work off campus. Students are members for life of the whole Berklee job listing database - I do believe that will be a great perk, in the long run. And certainly the connections she is forming with her talented classmates will lead to many collaborations after graduation. Again, true of all schools, be especially prominent at BoCo. I hope this helps - please feel free to PM me or ask away with any questions. If interested, I can connect you with my daughter or she can connect you to more of the CT students.
