...google is pretty complicated. Took me almost 4 minutes to find, copy and paste all those.

I'll even add: NEC, since Boston seems popular for you.

I've recently just have been introduced to Boston Univ., I know it's assosication with one of the best summer programs around... Tanglewood Institute, but how does it fare as a school? prestige?, private or public?, size?, opportunities? etc.

Robinjessome, try collegeboard.com next time :o

when i said post some informations, i meant like personal opinions and things that are not on school websites.

I'd say you should put Eastman on that list as well, they have an amazing undergraduate program plus they need your money.... I think they have around 200 million in their endowment fund...

?=)

what makes Eastman amazing

Eastman School of Music Composition Department - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What wikipedia has to say :-P

o i read that before

I enjoy the school A LOT, I want to go there.

Alas, I'll just have to find out.

The school is really phenomenal, especially for the undergrad. I think I've heard numerous "rumors" about schools that prize their graduates above their undergraduates. Though, at Eastman a great deal of emphasis is applied to the undergrad, mainly in how they "force" you to interact with composers of the graduate level and plus you have the largest academic resource in the country available. (I.E. Sibley Music Library)

Also! they require you to audition on an instrument! meaning that if you are accepted and go, that you work with one of their professors of music performance! Basically, they make sure that your skills as a performer and composer are top notch. ^_^

Yep, I feel dirty for advertising this school in particular.
