<p>Hey guys. I'm currently in my first year at Emerson and I realize that this is not for me. I'm a Sound Design major and the program is essentially sound for Film, which I thought would be OK, but I realize now it is not what I am looking for. </p>
<p>I would like to transfer to a school in the NYC area. I have come up with a few choices of programs (feel free to add). </p>
<p>1) NYU Steinhardt Music Technology
2) CUNY City Sonic Arts
3) Stevens Institute of Technology Music Recording </p>
<p>I will also put schools like SUNY Purchase into consideration if someone can vouch for them. </p>
<p>Ultimately I am looking for a school that is </p>
<p>1) Very heavy on the Production/Recording curriculum
2) Does not require an audition on a classical instrument a la Michigan/Hartt/Frost
3) Is not a complete specialty school a la SAE</p>
<p>Thank you guys.</p>
