School on the other side of the pond? (Music student)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently in the process of applying to schools. I am interested in popular music and in music composition. My list currently includes Belmont (accepted into general, songwriting decision pending), Miami (prescreen decision pending), Berklee, Syracuse, Northwestern, Vanderbilt (have yet to apply to those four), USC (not invited to audition, can still get in as B.A. undecided) and Berkeley (decision pending).</p>

<p>However, I'm somewhat intrigued by the idea of studying music in the UK. I think it would be a great experience, and I'm slightly concerned by where the financial instabilities in the US might be heading (California, home to big music cities, like SF and LA, is struggling). Where might be some good music schools to study popular music in the UK? I'm looking around and I'm intrigued by University of Salford, which is near Manchester and has a decent popular music program, but I'm welcome to any suggestions.</p>

<p>Please, I would appreciate input on this. I’m currently looking at Salford, Oxford Brookes, and Canterbury Christ Church but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Hm, I thought this would be better based on the name of the subforum, but I’ll try that too. Thanks!</p>
