<p>@thecheckbook - Thanks so much for all your help with this :)</p>
<p>We’ve looked at the NAU program & school pretty well. Unfortunately, they really don’t have a lot of funds. They are the least respected of our three state schools, and don’t get near the endowments that the other two receive (it isn’t a PAC 10 school <em>rolls eyes</em>). They are primarily a school for Education, Forestry and Hospitality majors. We did look into their ‘perks’, but there weren’t a lot. They do have some study abroad programs, but for theater it was in Australia. My daughter wants to do study abroad for Theater in England. They do have a fledgling summer theater program that they do in conjunction with a local Flagstaff theater company called ‘Town & Gown’, but the last production (The Odd Couple) only had ONE theater student in it. The other cast members were people from the community, a Criminology professor and a Forestry graduate (?!). Not sure what to make of that. I wish their Theater program was better and that they offered Writing! She would love to live in Flag.</p>
<p>I agree with you about ASU being terrific for business and law majors. It’s also terrific for communications majors. We love seeing touring Broadway shows at their Gammage Theater, but every single student we know that went their for Theater is disappointed. They all know my daughter, and have worked with her in theater, and all have advised her not to go there.</p>
