<p>Have to chime in here but I guess different people see different things. I found absolutely no significant difference in the physical plant between Potsdam and Fredonia. I found Potsdam way more forthcoming and student-centric than Fredonia. I think Potsdam is certainly colder weatherwise than Fredonia. I do not beleive at all that Crane is more music ed than performance oriented. I’ve heard people say that Crane is almost conservatory-like with their performance programs though I do beleive performance majors will get out of ant decent music school what they put in and want back.</p>
<p>Attendees will complain about both and parents try to convince themselves that one is better choice than the other. </p>
<p>If performance is your thing the one aspect to make sure of is that your child is comfortable spending the next four years with the studio professor they choose. After that they’re young and will adapt.</p>
