@bfahopeful - I agree. Of all the odd lists out there… this is the oddest. I agree with your point about New York (and would add Syracuse etc into the list). And what about my home state of Ohio? All due respect to BW, but what about CCM, Otterbein etc? It seems foolish to pick ONE School in every state - discounting that some states have LOTS of great programs.
I can’t get past “rigorousness” in the intro, lol!
^^haha!
Yeah, South Carolina always cracks me up because CCU has the only BFA in the state. I know a BFA isn’t an indicator that a program is better or worse than any other but if you wanna talk “rigorousness” and who puts actors on Broadway/regional theatre/nat tours/etc…
Just a gentle reminder that not all BFA’s are rigorous just like not all BA’s are slackers. I know many BA programs that “put” people on Broadway (which I don’t believe programs do) but that aside, and are very rigorous. JMHO
I thought that “rigor” would have been the better choice of word. I found “rigorousness” clumsy; like using “beauteous” instead of “beautiful.”
@bisouu is right as usual. I personally did not mean to indicate that BAs are slackers whatsoever. Just another reason why lists like this are silly to me. It’s impossible to rank “best” when every program offers something different that could be a perfect fit for an individual.
Is your child doing gap year because was not accepted to the schools of choice, or for other reasons?
