Community colleges with great Theatre programs?

<p>I'm an international student who wants to study at a community college in or around NYC. The closer the better. Right now I am looking at Suffolk County Community College, Nassau Community College, and Rockland Community College. They all seem to have good reputations and a track record of sending students to ivy leagues and top tier universities. I'm especially interested in the theatre and art programs, and as far as I can tell Rockland seems to have a strong art program, but what about the other two? Which is the best out of the three? Which college has the most convenient transport links to NYC? </p>

<p>I was considering Borough of Manhattan Community College because of its ideal location, right in the heart of NYC, but the academics there aren't top-notch as far as I can tell. Anyone know anything about the theatre instruction at this college, though? </p>

<p>I'm also open to suggestions of other CC's in the US that have great theatre/art programs.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Los Angeles City College has a program that is respected. Several of my son’s friends went there and they enjoyed the experience.</p>

<p>Westchester Community College has a very good theatre program and is easier to get into the city from there than Rockland or Suffolk.</p>
