Purchase

<p>I know there is a separate Purchase page, but does anyone here know anything or have any opinions about the school, or visited it? My daughter goes Saturday for a music audition and we didn't have a chance to visit previously. To anyone up here in the "frozen tundra" (to quote Muffy) it is pretty much unknown.</p>

<p>I think the location is good; you can get into NYC easily. Very near White Plains, which has malls, but nothing special. No "college town" area but Manhattanville College campus is close. Most buildings on campus are ugly (the website says "frankly, our architecture is an acquired taste"), but the performing arts center is nice. Climate excellent. If my daughter applies, she'll apply for liberal arts, not fine arts - I think the fine arts are much more competitive and I think it is well known downstate as a arts college.</p>
