So when exactly are we getting our studio assignments?

At some schools my husband and I fell in love with the admissions personnel; at others (actually not NYU), we received a cold vibe, and were completely turned off. It was always difficult to figure out whether the experience with the administration accurately represented the overall campus climate. Interestingly, my son knew right away that NYU was for him. He focused upon what he wanted in the way of his training and felt an immediate fit.
As parents, we always want a sense of assurance that our sons and daughters will be well cared for and our $ well spent. It can be a more frightening process for us than for the student.
We trusted our son’s reaction, and he was right. He continues to have an extraordinarily warm and supportive relationship with faculty. Even though he graduated in 2008, studio faculty and administrators still attend his (and other former students’) performances and provide advice/guidance. He (and his cohorts) have even been hired as guest consultants for studio performances.
Good luck to all of you. It is such an exciting time, and there are many great opportunities to come.
