My son is in the fortunate position of choosing between great schools for acting BFA programs. He was accepted at NYU BU Rutgers Ithaca and DePaul. He’s visited all of them and has it narrowed down to DePaul and BU with a preference for BU. Does anyone out there have any reason why choosing BU over DePaul (with large scholarship) would be a big mistake? He loved them both but preferred the flexibility in the BU program, the study abroad requirement at BU and the close knit family feeling at BU. any thoughts would be great! Thank you!
It sounds like you answered your own question. 
both are good programs but BU is the right fit for your son it seems.
BU is wonderful. Congrats. He had amazing choices!
