<p>MK’sDad said of NYU/Tisch “they farm you out to the acting studios your first two years (apparently without giving you any input into the choice of which one).”</p>
<p>Just wanted to ask what you mean by “they farm you out” to acting studios? The various studios (Meisner, Adler, Atlantic, ETW, Playwright’s, etc.) ARE the actor training programs at Tisch. It’s not as if the school sends you out to learn something at a lesser place for the first two years and then you come back to Tisch.</p>
<p>My D is a freshman at Tisch/CAP21 and doesn’t feel “farmed out” in any way, shape or form. She absolutely loves the fact that she is training at a professional actor training program/MT program that works with the larger university to provide this training. </p>
<p>That said, I agree that NYU/Tisch is not, by any stretch of the imagination, for every student. Some students, especially college freshmen, might find the pace and bustle of New York (and the size!) overwhelming. But for the right student, it really is an amazing experience. My D cannot imagine being anywhere else.</p>
