<p>We're in the early stages of looking at schools for youngest S. From everything I read, the temperament of Lawrence sounds like it might suit him well. However, I'm a little worried about how non-music kids fit in. Do they have as good of an academic experience as Con students?</p>
<p>Son's interests lie more in the areas of math and science. </p>
<p>Any insight into this would be much appreciated! Also what percentage of students are NOT involved in music at all?</p>
<p>I see no answers here. I learned to ask these kind of questions of admissions.</p>
<p>My daughter happens to be someone doing music extracurricularly at LU - she is not a con person. She knows others, her roommate eg, who do not do the con and they seem like they fit in.</p>
<p>I saw a listing of the top UG producers of PHds in physics and i saw LU as number 10. D’s roomie is in biology and seems to like LU alot and has done good research and presentations at other universities. After seeing a fantastic concert of the LSO, I am surprised how many studens I see doing other stuff on campus. I am usually so impressed with the LSO’s performance that I wondered why all the other students on campus were not at Memorial Hall - answer - they do other things , and not just play or even watch , music, I guess.</p>

<p>The con has something like 300-400 students maybe , so 25-33 pct of the students are in the con, I think. but don’t quote me. in other words, most of the students are not doing music in the con.</p>
