BU vs. CCM (Violin DMA)

<p>I am aware that there are not many posts about DMA, but I just want to hear some thoughts about these two schools.</p>

<p>I have to consider how long the coursework would take, the curriculum and what I would like to do after I finish the program. I was leaning more towards CCM (seems like a bit more flexible and less academic, less recitals than BU) but I am not sure if there will be lots of opportunities (jobs) that I can explore in Cincinnati compared to Boston. Although Boston might probably be competitive to freelance, I think it would be a good place to network and meet lots people. I've met the teachers that I would study with at both schools, and I liked them both. </p>

<p>Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated, Thanks! :)</p>
