I agree that Rochester is different from the rest…do you want a bigger school? U Roch is strong in economics, even though most people know them for their strength in STEM.
Have you looked at all the schools for music opportunities for non-majors? At some schools, it can be difficult to play in orchestras/bands and/or get practice space if you aren’t a music major.
Regarding cost…for the more expensive option(s), will you have to take out loans/additional loans? If so, how much?
