Current ONU Student Feedback

Since last year’s thread was closed, I’d like to open up discussion on ONU’s MT program. What makes it special, what do you like about it, are the acting, voice, dance classes rigorous, do you feel like you’re getting top notch training, what are the shows like, what outside opportunities have you had (summer), what would you change, etc. etc. We have a visit planned at end of month, but current student experiences and feedback are very valuable for final decision. Moms and Dads, please chime in too, thanks!

@DancerMTMom We couldn’t be happier with the education our D is getting at ONU. She is a junior now and has had some wonderful opportunities there!

Pros: They’ve had guest directors, master classes, etc. The production values are great. We’ve seen just about everything she’s done. She’s been performing every year with them since her freshman year. What makes it REALLY special? The people…what a dream! We are thousands of miles away and I couldn’t feel better about the environment we’re sending her to after every break! LOVE! smile:

Btw, the campus is lovely and there’s an inn right there that you can stay in when you’re visiting.

“Cons”: the campus is far from the airport. I wish it was a little closer and easier to get to from campus (she doesn’t have a car). We haven’t had any problems so far but I just wish it was easier. Also, D said the dining hall wasn’t that great LOL.

Please message me if you have any specific questions!

@MTheaterMom Thank you so much! This is all great to know. I may PM you with some more specific questions. Thanks again.
