My daughter has been accepted at Fordham LC and Skidmore; wait listed at Emory and Tufts. Deciding between Fordham LC and Skidmore presents these contrasts…Skidmore affirming community and she could major in the theatre program…Fordham…not accepted in the performance tract…can minor in theatre and reaudition in the spring of her freshman year or choose to wait and do it in the spring of her sophomore year…competition will be stiff…usually take 1 or 2 students…if selects Fordham would major in English and minor in theatre, flipping this if she is able to get in performance tract, at Skidmore she would major in theatre and minor or double major in English…loves New York City…not wild about Saratoga Springs or the amount of snow she would have to deal with…loves Skidmore’s programing as well as Fordham’s…

anyone know how theatre minors are treated at Fordham…are they valued and included…she loved the warmth and respect between the theatre professors and their students…is this true in other disciplines?

community seemed easier to happen at Skidmore…anyone have any thoughts about Fordham…
