<p>butterflies-you are welcome to send a PM with questions about NU. My son will be home until mid-Sept. (The beauty of being on the 1/4 system at NU is that not only can you explore 12 courses a year, there are theatrical opportunities during fall, winter, and spring quarters.)</p>
<p>I understand though, that finances are a very important portion of this equation. Muhlenberg does offer significant merit money for academics as well as merit money for talent, although you would have to audition for the head of the theatre department to be considered for the talent merit money. My son did audition there and was offered both academic merit and talent merit, and I’ll bet your academic stats are better than his were. :)</p>
