<p>Can anyone speak on the BFA acting program at Northern Illinois?</p>

<p>Northern Illinois (A school VERY much on the rise with the best Meisner training in the country. Great connections to Chicago and you’ll get a semester at Moscow Art Theatre)</p>
<p>I can say regarding the school and the location that it’s a very nice university about an hour and a half outside the city (which for Chicago is pretty close, for not being IN the city).</p>
<p>If you are looking in that area I would also read up on Illinois State (auditioned BA) and Illinois Wesleyan (auditioned BFA in a small LAC), both in Bloomington, which is more like 2 hours from Chicago. Both also lovely programs.</p>
