Western Carolina MT

Is there anyone on the forum now with a child at Western Carolina? Had a few questions… Thanks!

We live near Western and know a number of current and recent grads… not sure if I can help but I’ll try.

I’ll pm you @KTVoice thanks !

Ooh, let’s talk, @theaterwork! D submitted her application last Thursday; so I don’t have any insider info, but I would love to compare notes. We did tour the school 2 years ago with the non-arts kid :slight_smile:

Would love to hear more about this school. My daughter has her audition lined up in November.

@sabersunshine are you going on nov 5? We are scheduled that day…

@theaterwork we are going on Nov 5th also. We have our plane tickets but still have to line up a hotel room. Hard to believe it is almost here!

I pmd you @sabersunshine

Break all the legs for Nov. 5th. If you have any questions about the area let me know. I’d be happy to help if I can. It should be very pretty around that time…

My D hopes to audition on 2/18. We live in NC, so we are saving the in-state schools for after Chicago Unifieds, when we figure we’ll both be exhausted! I echo @KTVoice’s sentiment: Break Legs, and give us an update!!

My D is a freshman MT at WCU. I’ll be happy to answer any questions if you want to PM Me.

@amt2016 I will contact you after my D auditions nov 5! Thanks!

I would love to hear how auditions went yesterday! WCU has really moved up on D’s list, but she isn’t auditioning until February.

Auditioned yesterday and loved every second!!! Campus is extremely beautiful and faculty and students were so kind. The program is amazing with so many performance opportunities.

@broadwaybound17 I pmd you !

where did you fly into?

@spal - I believe the Asheville, NC airport is the closest to WCU. Here is a link from the university’s website that has helpful travel info:

@spal1979 where are you coming from? There are simply no super-close airports to Cullowhee. I would recommend flying into Charlotte. The closest regional airport is Asheville; but the possibility of cancelled flights due to weather makes this a riskier choice, IMO.


My D auditioned back in November. It was a great experience. We flew into Atlanta because of the price and since we had to rent a car anyway…
