<p>I was recently accepted into the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (CCM)'s drama program. Can anyone talk to me about if it is good or not/ the advantages and disadvantages of going there?</p>
<p>there are music major forum, drama/ mt forum you can ask questions. leave it here as well, someone might answer because of experiences from friends, arty family siblings, neighbors, art magnet high school classmates in deferent concentration etc, since we are the nosy pushy bunch.</p>
<p>I attended many concerts and performances at CCM since my daughter was a DAAP student at University of Cincinnati. I have to tell you that every performance was unbelievably impressive. They get some amazingly talented kids. I also got to meet a number of faculty there who noted that CCM is a fabulous place and is considered one of the best conservatories in the US. These kids have a good tie in with broadway too.</p>
<p>way to go, taxguy!! the god!!</p>
<p>Wait, “was”?? where is your D now? ( nosy bunch here)</p>
<p>And where can I get good chinese or thai takeout in the Downtown area?
the college town (or street) had some fake Asian joints amongst the bookstore, American Apparel and such but in the Downtown, there were NONE in walking radius. Am I wrong?
OP, be aware if you have cravings for true cantonese style noodle soup, decent sushi, kimuchee or real Pad Thai. Cincinnati is a scary place.</p>
<p>She is still attending UC. Right now, she is on a coop in LA designing web sites for movies.</p>
<p>Actually we had some good Asian food,but it was a 10 mile or so drive from the UC campus. They do have some good pizza and sub places. Surprisingly, they have three decent indian places near campus. Of course, you also have a fabulous, and must have, ice cream from Graetors.</p>
<p>thing is, I don’t live on bread, ice cream would be nice but won’t make satisfying meal.
Assume CCM music is not an Asian heavy.
Or is it a requirement for next YoYoMa or Lang Lang to live on the bread or own a car while at UG?
I thought if the Virginia tech guy could have had daily dose of his real favorite dish (not the college town version), he would have been somewhat happier.
My psychologist friend think against this because his trouble is deep rooted, but of course she is a bread-eater.</p>
<p>Good luck to your D, somehow I don’t feel stranger to her. She is more like, the CC art major forum’s daughter.</p>
<p>bearsanddogs notes,ood luck to your D, somehow I don’t feel stranger to her. She is more like, the CC art major forum’s daughter.</p>
<p>Response: Yes, I can see why you would feel that way. I should note that UC does have a number of other restaurants at or near campus such as Chipolte, Panara Bread etc. Thus, I promise that the kids won’t go hungry.</p>
<p>Dad! that is exactly the point!!
Chipotle is a overpriced place that sells things wrapped in the bread ( sort of ) and, it’s Panera BREAD.
I think substantially sized university town should have walking access to every major ethnic food that is not national chain made or fake (Please, no Panda Garden or Happy Wok that substitute linguine for the noodle) also reasonably cheap.
I know any kids would live on McDonald and cereals well over teen years but yet, but yet…
When I visited a friend at SUNY Bighamtom 20 plus years ago, the sorry town had real Korean deli with jared pickled small whole fish swimming in mystery liquid - My friend who is the bread eater thought I would be thrilled to see that, I did not tell her that Japanese and Korean food are bit different in other scary way (she had seen slimy raw seaweed and natto beans in our communal fridge before) I appreciated the thought and the town of Binghamton. </p>
<p>First-forward 20 years, there were shoot out at the immigration help community center in Binghamton, I guess I was wrong to think that ethnic comfort food would help pained soul.</p>
<p>Hey Bears…besides the food what did you think of your visit to U of C? I have to say, no sushi might be a deal breaker for my son.</p>
<p>In the bottom of the page two is my review.
More of woe in Cincinnati than DAAP.
This forum does not keep old thread long enough, many new questions could be answered in past threads alot. Not that my post helps those who need more inportant questions answered, hahaha</p>

<p>PS
it is not that there aren’t any sushi within walking/ public transporting DAAP radius.
like I said, there were Sakura or Samurai sushi near the campus and Benihana in Downtown (wait, do they do sushi? anyways)
I happened to grew up near the ocean eating something caught in the morning same day for the lunch and could not will not allow mutant raw fish.
rule of the sum is not to trust the states/cities that do not touch ocean, but of course it is stupid agenda for this time of globalizing factorized fisheries.</p>
<p>PPS
there are little cafe inside of DAAP and of course some mystery roll sushi on styrofoam tray were offered.
I have seen them at any major colleges I visited ocean or no ocean.
Factory sushi is actually cleaner and safer, last long. less killing if not appetizing.</p>
<p>Ok…got that link. A thread I had never read. Who would believe it? My Scorpio eye missed that catfight between North and South.
Now onto SCAD…let’s take a trip. Design Sponge Blog did a nice feature on Savannah. I need a vacation just about now. Don’t know about Asian food in Savannah though. Plenty of fish I’m sure.</p>
<p>Oooo, they have histories considering over either SCAD is worthwhile art school or not, following them these years made me the CCer today.
Keep in mind, though, in bottom of their heart, they are BFF as much as we are!!
South and North ( I just call them sometimes because they so remind me of Zaxies characters in the story within the Sneetches by Dr. Suess) are both CC gurus to be admired.</p>
<p>Can we take Greyhoud?
I can’t afford air fare and gotten license from NY state on the ground of not driving in the public place.</p>
