<p>i'm a freshman at slc and the year is nearing its end. congratulations to all those who got in. if anyone has a specific question about slc, i would be glad to answer it. also, i'm a male! surprised? don't be. the slc thread needs some action so come on people, ask away!</p>
<p>Does SLC hold open auditions for theater offerings to all students, or is this pretty much restricted to theater students only? Are there open classes for other dances, i.e., hip-hop, available to those taking up other majors?</p>
<p>There are open auditions for at least a few plays throughout the year, but usually most of the auditions are restricted to theater students(theater thirds). There are also smaller student-run theater groups like Lampoon that any one can audition for.
Since there are no majors here, all classes are usually open to everyone. Dance classes are usually open, but there are some that are a little advanced and/or require a lot of time and effort, and so are only open to dance thirds.</p>
<p>How exactly does concentrations work…Can my daughter actually graduate from SLC and become a teacher, until a writing career is achieved? If she’s unhappy, can the course work transfer to another school?</p>
<p>(th)ink, I rang up SLC Admissions today and the lovely person I spoke to said S should have by now received an e-mail from a student (she gave me the name) to get into particular Q & A’s (he hasn’t). </p>
<p>But she also explained that in SLC there are 3 courses a term, so if S is taking (1) political science, (2) say, history, then he could go into (3) dance. This makes him a dance third? How is the dance third broken up in the four years of college?</p>
<p>momray, there are no concentrations or majors here at SLC. We just take random classes, mostly whatever seems/sounds interesting. We just have a set number of credits that are the requirements for a broad class of categories: Natural Sciences, Humanities and the Creative Arts. Your daughter can graduate from SLC and be whatever she wants to, provided she takes classes in that field. We don’t really have a teaching concentration, so she can take whatever interests her. And yes, the course work can transfer to another school.</p>
<p>MamaBO, there are 3 courses usually, some courses are semester long while others are year long. In order to become a dance third (or any other kind of third: theatre, music or language), you take two classes and register yourself with the respective department (here, the dance department) as a dance third. As part of the third, your son will be taking a series of smaller classes within that third, in addition to the other two classes. There will be more work and more classes to attend. The next year, you repeat the same process again.</p>
<p>Is it hard to get an on campus job if not on Financial Aid?</p>
<p>Not really. You just have to apply early in the year, before all the jobs are taken. I know a lot of people who have jobs even though they aren’t on financial aid. The college has a lot of jobs, they just don’t pay very well.</p>
<p>You can also create your own job. My D was interested in costumes and sewing but not theater as a “major”. She looked over the work/study opportunities without finding anything particularly interesting and then inquired at the drama department about any work they might have in the costume shop. She worked that job for two years. SLC is nothing if not flexible.</p>
<p>I plan on going to SLC next year, and was wondering about rooming. I know there’s some sort of questionnaire, but how well does SLC match roommates together? Would it be best to find a roommate myself and request them? If so, how would I go about doing that?</p>
<p>Also, how does SLC mach dons with students? Is it done at random or is consideration placed on field of study/expertise and background?</p>
<p>Roommates they try to match but dons are pretty much random I’ve discovered.</p>
