Skidmore or Fordham

<p>My daughter has been accepted at Fordham LC and Skidmore; wait listed at Emory and Tufts. Deciding between Fordham LC and Skidmore presents these contrasts...Skidmore affirming community and she could major in the theatre program...Fordham...not accepted in the performance tract...can minor in theatre and reaudition in the spring of her freshman year or choose to wait and do it in the spring of her sophomore year...competition will be stiff...usually take 1 or 2 students.....if selects Fordham would major in English and minor in theatre, flipping this if she is able to get in performance tract, at Skidmore she would major in theatre and minor or double major in English...loves New York City...not wild about Saratoga Springs or the amount of snow she would have to deal with....loves Skidmore's programing as well as Fordham's...</p>

<p>liked the warmth and respect she saw between the Skidmore theatre teachers and students when she sat in on a theatre company class</p>

<p>anyone know how theatre minors are treated at Fordham...are they valued and included...she loved the warmth and respect between the theatre professors and their students she saw at audition...is this true in other disciplines? </p>

<p>community seemed easier to happen at Skidmore...</p>

<p>any thoughts appreciated as she approaches decision day!</p>

<p>My vote would be for Skidmore. It'll give her more options because most college students change majors/minors alot, plus I think the campus on Skidmore would be more helpful because on the LC campus at Fordham, there practically is no campus, and your D would probably not have a dorm.</p>

<p>Thanks yesnomaybeso7 for your comment. She has decided on Skidmore!</p>
