My daughter got in to both University of Southern California for Music Industry and Belmont University in Nashville for Music Business. I think I already know the answer to this question, but I need some help convincing my daughter which is the best choice for her. Does anyone here have advice on either school that will help her make this decision? I think in terms of opportunity, USC may be better connected. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Are costs about the same? Has she visited both campuses? Does she feel more “at home” at either university?
You are on the SC forum. This is what she will find at SC…
The opportunity to participate in student life with others in the schools of dramatic arts, cinema, dance and fine arts who are among the most creative and talented in the nation.
A location that is an international center of entertainment/business including music, film, dance, fashion, dramatic arts and recording.
If she changes her major—and many do–there are a huge number of other fields to explore.
Her first year experience will be broadened by the residential college plan which gives freshmen support and exposure to the cultural and educational life of a cosmopolitan city.
The Trojan family which includes clubs and groups around the world for social and networking after graduation.
A student body which fosters a culture of service such as: local tutoring, alternative spring break, food banks, book collections and other projects.
Many study abroad programs which can be semester or summer long in a choice of countries.
Active religious groups, eighty or more, are available to a student to observe her faith, if desired.
The long tradition of celebrating and support of the performing arts over decades.
Music industry alumni who provide scholarships, visit the school, lecture, provide internships and connect with current students.
Your student will be a part of a top tier private research university which is dynamic and grows more selective every year.
Encouragement to enhance her study of the music industry with programs in vastly different fields.
