The document provides guidance for students choosing a performing or visual arts college. Key factors to consider include the type of degree offered (BA, BFA, BM), whether the school is solely focused on the arts or part of a larger university, and the application process, which involves an audition or portfolio submission in addition to standard materials. Specialized arts colleges offer an immersive experience for students seeking a professional degree, while university programs allow for a broader course selection and possible double degrees. It's important to assess one's artistic abilities and fit with a school's philosophy.
