<p>Hi,
I'm currently a sophomore at a small, top 25 liberal arts school in New York. I'm looking to transfer to a larger university. Here's the deal:</p>

<p>I want to be a writer, and continue to sing as my hobby, perhaps be in a band. I plan to major in theatre. I'm looking for a larger university in a large city, with a good theatre program and a good music program I could take classes from. (preferrably no auditions, I don't have the time or money). I'm not really concerned about the quality of academics at this point, just the arts programs, and the last requirement is it must be cheap. For me this means either low tuition, or really good financial aid and/or merit aid (no loans, that's half the reason I'm transferring). I know I'm asking a lot, but can anyone help me? I'm from Ohio, so close to home would be nice too. Right now I'm considering OSU. Out-of-state is fine though, but not too far away.
Thanks so much, I will owe you all my undying gratitude.</p>

<p>Please help. I'm so desperate.</p>

<p>and by good program , I don't mean it has to be great or highly ranked, just a relatively solid program.</p>

<p>Have you looked at Ohio University? Back when the dinosaurs roamed (when I went there) they had an excellent theater program, an excellent writing program AND a great marching band. I believe they might have an all campus ensemble also for the non-marching seasons.</p>

<p>Oberlin fits well except financially, but you can't really guess in advance what kind of financial aid they might give.</p>
