<p>I’m a composer who was accepted to both BU and SU, and was wondering what school would have the better program and opportunities for me. All thoughts appreciated - thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Hi…current SU student in Setnor (music school). Not a composition major, BM performance. In general, I think BU is probably the better choice. I do know that many comp. majors like it here…but in terms of opportunities to premiere work for any kind of sizable audience, I don’t see it happening here. On the other hand, it is a very small program, so you would definitely get lots of attention from Profs (can’t comment on their quality). And there are probably ways to show off work, it’s just that audience attendance is VERY low. The University as a whole is really just not great (or at least my experience), so I suggest thinking about that in your decision, too. Hope that helps a little. </p>
