Urgent decisions, Summer Drama: Syracuse Vs Yale Vs Columbia Vs NYUs IMPACT

<p>I was recently admitted to the following programs: Yale's summer Conservatory for actors, Syracuse Musical theater, Colombia Colleges HSSI (I signed up for the musical theater class) and NYU's IMPACT. I don't live in the US, and must decide very soon because for plane tickets. However, I want to be sure that I attend the best program so I'm not wasting my time (or my poor parents money, haha) </p>

<p>Yale: This is a very expensive program, which is the main reason that it isn't currently my first choice. Can anyone vouch for it being worth the cost?
Syracuse: This was my first pick, because it's more affordable, close to New York so I can visit after the camp is over, and I wanted to do Musial theater. However, since my admission I have heard many dubious reports about the value of the camp and the safety of the campus and Syracuse itself. Does anyone have experience with this camp? Is it safe and worthwhile?
Columbia: I have been wait-listed for housing, but assuming I do procure some, is this a good program? There was no audition, which makes me question its level of intensity and instruction....
NYU IMPACT: this was my backup (I honestly didn't expect to get into all of these camps haha) and it seems to be more of an elongated festival / tech and arts collab. then a course. But if anyone can tell more about what its like, i'd really appreciate it. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
