<p>@SnoozeButton it’s okay to vent, there are always people out there who will listen :)</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else saying that you should transfer. If you really feel like you’re stuck and there’s absolutely no way to make the situation better (even with effort and time), then transferring will be best for your mental health and studies. It’s not fair for your parents to imply that your sister’s work at Cornell is more important than yours (that’s the vibe I’m getting, correct me if I’m mistaken please), because you deserve the best education you can get as well.</p>
<p>Are there any public colleges with good theatre programs that have interested you?</p>
<p>I did some quick googling and found:</p>
<p>"Purchase College in the State University of New York system offers proximity to New York City and its four-theater Performing Arts Center is the major professional nonprofit arts facility in the southeastern New York, southwestern Connecticut region. SUNY-Purchase topped “The Princeton Review” list in 2012. The school offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Performance. The acting BFA program at Rutgers University accepts 9 percent of applicants, who spend their third year at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, according to “The Hollywood Reporter.” (<a href=“The Top Acting Colleges in the United States - The Classroom”>http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/colleges-theatre-majors-17506.html</a>)</p>
<p>I’m sorry I can’t help more, I don’t know what else to day :(</p>
<p>I agree with your dad, college isn’t about having fun, it’s about getting an education and thriving and growing (as I’m sure you know) but since you feel this way, something’s obviously not right, and it needs to be changed.</p>
