Ok I'm not going to say I totallyBrightMusic - Performance
Ok I'm not going to say I totally hate it, but it wasn't a good experience I was a theater arts major . I really feel I some things from the faculty but like some of the classes that i had to take for example play production Was the most pointless class ever basically u sit in the class 4 45 to 1 hr doin nothin but listen to the professor ramble on about nothing. They grade u off of crew hours by lifting heavy stuff painting up stuff doing freaking Manual labor. which I think is just bs becuz u paying alot of money for this college and u have to stay after 430 to help wit theater department . Another thing this college doesn't even have a nurses office, obviously this college could care less about ur health. I feel some of the theater students are soo stuck up and most of them new freshman feel like it is high school so some of new freshmen will try to kiss up to the seniors to get roles in their senior plays. I lived in the dorms and I try every weekend to come back home becuz #1 I was sooo boring over the weekends nothing do #2 no place to go if u don't have a car. I sooo glad in transferred to another college.

Question
I'm sorry I went to this school.Quite BrightOther
I'm sorry I went to this school. I did learn the knowledge needed to accurately pursue a job in my field BUT I felt like a joke walking into school every day. Besides a few great teachers, almost all of them were arrogant and rude. They will mark you late if you show up one minute late to class but then take off multiple days in a semester without warning or arrive 25 minutes late with no apology. Enrolling for classes every semester is a nightmare. The school never has all the classes you need to take available every semester and registering is over a one hour process. The school has the ability to grow and be a great school but it needs to change. They need to get rid of the useless professors and bring in some actual people who know what they're talking about instead of putting the grunt work on the few wonderful professors that they have. Not to mention the school used to be a middle school and it shows. Get your s**t together Five Towns!

Question
The school is supposed to focus on musicAverageBusiness - Management and Administration
The school is supposed to focus on music biz careers, ut isn't much better than a 2 yr tech school and has no standards for admissions. If u can breath and walk - there are 0 handicap facilities, ramps, etc. - u will be admitted. They admit kids who are poor and come from not great hi schools to get federal and state financial aid cuz it's a private owned school run by one old guy who fired his own son for trying to bring up standards. Teachers complain about class size, lack of support from admin. And are generally unhappy and we all feel it. They dont get to much from what we know. The grounds are nice, but no real activities, even walking trails thru. Woods. The food sucks and if u don't have a car, and live there urn pretty much stuck. Most of the kids who can transfer or just drop out. I don't see too many kids from when I started and it's a real small school. Very disappointing. Theres not even a nurse if u get sick and ur in the dorm. We don't even have a bookstore anymore! It s a joke and everyone knows the owner and his kids are suing each other over how the school is run. They should ask students!
