Worth the trip?

kitkatt565…My daughter and I have had similar questions of visiting schools and costs. She is also choosing between Hartt’s BFA and Muhlenberg’s BA. She has her heart set on a conservatory style training but agreed with me that you really can’t make a decision on something until you see it and really get a feel for it. Hartt is a more expensive option, since you are not eligible for merit aid as a Hartt student, but as a parent I feel she has come this far and the next four years are important and I would rather stretch financially if it is the right answer, rather than investing in somewhere she might not stay. However, as for a visit-I think whatever the cost (and it’s really expensive to fly there from South Florida right now-) is minimal compared to a four year education. When you think of all the money spent of applications, auditions, travel, etc…this is like coming down home stretch and you don’t want to run out of steam. Good luck with your decision, and if you end up at Hartt perhaps you’ll end up with my daughter in MT.
