<p>@kjgc - I’m not letting weather affect my college decisions. The cool weather factor would be nice, but it’s definitely not a must. </p>
<p>@TheRealKEVP - I didn’t mean that each of those factors were musts - just trying to be helpful in narrowing things down. My only two must-haves are generous merit aid and a strong tech program. I do consider location, size, etc. to be bonus factors. </p>
<p>@stagemum - I haven’t decided yet, but I’d like to focus on either Stage Management or Lighting Design - ideally, both. I have zero interest in Costume or Set Design. I had looked at Carnegie Mellon (will look at Northwestern and Syracuse) but had been put off by the price tag…I’ll look into their scholarship programs. I just worry that my stats aren’t strong enough to earn me enough money. Emerson would be ideal, but again, the price tag (and notorious lack of aid). I’ll take a look at UArts as well - thank you so much for your input.</p>
