Community Colleges and Music?

<p>Damn!! UNT’s deadlines for scholarship are over, for this year.</p>

<p>I’d like to go to school in a theatre- and opera-oriented city, as I’m an international student and need to start connecting with people as I study…so I was wondering which schools are better in the list I’ve applied to-

  1. UC Irvine, CA - BA Drama (hope to get into BFA MT once I get in)
  2. Loyola Uni Chicago, IL - BA Music with Musical Theatre (or MT)
  3. Rider Uni, NJ - BMus MT
  4. Rollins College, FL - BA MT
  5. CUNY Brooklyn, Queens, Lehman and Borough of Manhattan CC - Theatre major (though I’ll shift to Music later, I guess)</p>

<p>If you know of any college offering substantial aid like UNT, please please do let me know. My parents can only offer $ 40,000 for all 4 years (fees + living expenses), so right now, I’m hard pressed for CCs. But if I find any college with aid like UNT’s, I’d definitely go for it !! :D</p>

<p>Most of the discussions revolving around going to CC’s in California to save money are appropriate for in-state, non music performance majors.
And, I’m sorry but I did not understand that you are looking to apply to a school for Fall admissions. That horse has already left the barn.</p>

<p>I don’t think any of those schools are appropriate for opera. You might check with the MT forum for these schools.

<p>Just a mention that Fullerton College (a California community college) has a transfer agreement with Berklee. This may be worth looking at if you are into jazz/contemporary.</p>

<p>Tri-C, Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland has a similar agreement with Berklee.</p>
