Looking for a little more information on the Cherubs drama/musical theater program at Northwestern?

Hi everybody and thank you in advance!

I recently got accepted into the drama program (with the musical theater extension) at Northwestern and I’m extremely excited and will be attending. Most of the curriculum and things like that are clearly outlined (and look fantastic!) in the info packet. However, I have a few smaller questions that I was hoping somebody who has experienced the program could answer for me:

  1. There seems to be an hour for lunch and an hour and a half for dinner scheduled into every day. Is it common for students to use this time to eat meals in Evanston outside of the dorms or do most kids stay in?
  2. How far are the buildings where classes and rehearsal take place from the Allison Hall dorm? (Do we need to a lot ourselves a lot of time to walk to class?)
  3. How strict is the dress code, and is it for core classes or everything?

I’m sure I have more questions but I think that’s a fair start. Thank you!!
