<p>@tennis- I have a few friends in Atlantic who I have talked with about the differences in our studio curriculum and what they like/ don’t like. Atlantic is very very intense from what I understand (as are all the studios), however, intense in the way that they mean business. One of my friends in Atlantic said that it can be a rather intimidating environment, but that overall she really likes it. She says she loves the technique- it’s just the strict discipline that gets at her sometimes. For example, one teacher (not sure if this is how they all operate) will cut you off mid-scene if they feel you’re not doing good work or don’t seem prepared, and will tell you that you are wasting the class’s time. </p>
<p>But, Atlantic produces very good actors and most people really love it, so if you are placed in Atlantic, I definitely would think there is a reason for it and try it. </p>
<p>And @sarah as far as off campus housing- NYU does not have their own apartments, but if I’m not mistaken, they will help you find them. Since I’m only going to be a sophomore, I’m deciding to still dorm, so I haven’t had to go through this process yet and am not really the best person to talk to regarding apartments. I’m sorry!</p>
