Should we pick Cornell College?

Hi - my son just got notice that he has been admitted to Cornell College, and received a very good scholarship offer, based on his plans to enroll as a Theatre major. He is very comfortable with the Theatre faculty, and the new facilities are wonderful, especially for such a small school.

His other top choice is Illinois Wesleyan - also a good school, but larger, and the financials are a bit more. I’m a bit concerned that despite supposedly a good reputation, the college hasn’t invested much in their Theatre facilities (which isn’t everything, but DOES indicate the school priorities).

I’m thinking that the one course at a time model at Cornell could be very interesting, but it’s a risk to see if it “works” for any student.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
