<p>Would like more info about Montclair State MT program…</p>
<p>My D has been accepted and would like to know the latest info from students who attend there now as BFA MT students.
She loved Clay James at the auditions. But she is concerned after reading the comments on CC over the past years.
Any info about the school experience in general? She would like a good overall experience. Do the MT students interact with the rest of the school at all? How is the MT program now that it has been established for a few years?
How easy is it to get to NYC?
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>After 4 years as an MT, my d thinks the program was terrific and is glad she chose it. So the weekends were sometimes lonely when most of the NJ students go home. She could have gone to NYC easily if she chose (bus). The easy train that stops on campus, doesn’t run on the weekends! The shows were great. Her training was great. Clay James is great. The dorm wasn’t so comfortable, there are new ones. The theater majors and music majors are a great bunch. The Honors program was terrific.
The state school administrative crap hasn’t ended. But I had that in a PA state school too. Now we’re trying to get her graduated. The #'s of courses has changed and the registrar needs to process the permits!!! The department is doing what they need to do. MSU administration is a pain. (She was accepted to the MT but we had to get admissions to ‘find’ her application that had been there for months!)</p>
