Five Towns College
“College is what you make of it.Quite BrightMusic - Performance
College is what you make of it. If you show up a performance major, and do nothing but the bare bone and good grades, you'll end up pumping gas out of college. However, if going to school is one of the many things you do as a performer, you'll have a pretty good shot coming out of five towns.
I do not recommend five towns to students who plan to dorm. campus life is almost nonexistant, dorms are nice, but less than 300 students occupy daily campus life. As a commuter student, I enjoy the commute, and although the school is small, it is effective, the work is not excessively time demanding, and the teachers (for the most part) are very laid back and generous about there grading. They are very focused on grading the student as is, instead of demanding higher general standards.This really allows you to do what you need to do as a performer -- consume your life with personal practice, learn at a slow, deep pace, and reap the benefits. Whatever you do, stay out of the Five Towns performances.

“This school is superb!Business - Management and Administration
This school is superb! Everything you need, food, bathrooms, classrooms the whole nine yards. Anyone with a bad word about this school should take it up with me! I'm a millionaire out of college doing WHAT I WANT because five towns got me there. I own several companies.

“This school used to be a middle school.BrightFine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
This school used to be a middle school... and still looks like it is. The film course is useless because it isn't very diverse, and consists of 50% non-relative classes. If you want to be a cinematographer or director, you may get 50% of what you are looking for, but any other aspect of film making is nearly absent, and requires you to educate yourself entirely. The president of this school is greedy and unproductive at best. The security guards harass you at the entrance for an ID, you can't play guitar in the cafe (this is an arts school by the way) and nearly every course you take is identical, if not completely irrelevant. Overall, this school is the last place I would recommend and not nearly worth the money. I am simply here for the degree which "looks" good on my resume.
