<p>Hi, I have been a reader of this site for a long time and my recent school problem as lead me to my first thread post:</p>

<p>Basically the situation I’m in is that I’ve been accepted into 7 different BFA programs including CCM, Ithaca Pennstate as well as UCF to name a few but am finding the money situation to be an major issue. CCM is my top choice but is offering very little help for the cost of tuition and happens to be my cheapest out of all my out of state acceptances. With that being said even going to CCm I’m looking at 30k a year worth of debt. The others only go up from there.
That really scares me and as much as I love the program that much debt out of college is frightening for me espically knowing the field I’m going to. So right now I’m trying to open myself to the option of staying in the state of florida and going to UCF where I have bright futures.
However I have not heard anyhthing about there program and am unsure about what I’m getting myself into?
How this program compare to others? Has it improved at all since some of the earlier post in 2006?
Any current students or parents please shed some light?
I want to be financially stable out of college but do not want to sacrifice superb training for the sake of money.</p>

<p>I have as well been admitted to UCF and am struggling with the same thing. I have talked to students in the programs there (BA and BFA) some have said good things and some have said bad things. Basically, that the program has gone downhill and that it is losing tons of funding b/c of budget cuts in Florida. That's really all I have heard. The main thing that is a big downer for me is that they have no senior showcase. Hopefully someone on here that knows a little more can send some info our way.</p>

<p>DV - those other schools you have mentioned, if you can afford them, are great choices.</p>
