glassharmonica is quite right. The music world is very small and it seems like everyone knows everyone else sooner or later through fewer degrees of separation than you would ever think. If you ask general questions about schools- physical layout, practice rooms, performance venues and opportunities, dorms, food and such, I know you’ll get responses ( I can cover three of those on your list!), but public critiques and evaluations of teachers? Not a wise thing to do.
What are you looking for in a school? There is a wide variation on your list and some must interest you more than others?
