I’m from Illinois and I have talked to a few of the BFA students at western. I opted not to audition there, ultimately, but to be completely honest, I haven’t heard the best things. They strictly teach the “belt” technique–which I disagree with, and I’ve heard they don’t have strong dance classes for MTs.

Also, I knew a teacher that taught there and he said he hated it strictly on location and would never teach at a “college in the cornfields” again. Ultimately, the school isn’t for me, and if I were to pick between BFA western illionis and BA columbia, I would gladly bick the Columbia…
