I am a 2005 Conservatory Alumnus, now working in Finance in New York City. I studied Music Performance and Mathematics. I really enjoyed my time at Shenandoah and looking back on it I am 75% very happy with my decision. Studying music strongly developed my work ethic, and even though I am not currently in the music field, I do not regret my major.

It is a very small school, and will feel even smaller than the numbers indicate if you are full time living on campus. Everyone knows everyone which has its positive and negatives. It was very easy to get involved in student activities, faculty and staff were very accessible. Four years later I still keep in touch with numerous professors and a former VP. The social scene it was what you make of it, and will not rival that of larger schools. It can have a very high school feel to it. Part of me wishes I had gone to a larger more recognizable school now that I am in New York and out of music, but I'm not sure I would have gained as much from that experience.

I recently visited and was very impressed with the changes on campus, including a new student center and business school. The school has changed so much in the last ten years and I'm optimistic that it will continue to grow. My advice, to Conservatory students at least, is to broaden your horizons a bit and take some extra courses outside the Conservatory.

Shenandoah University provides students with alot of indiviudal attention. My faculty members built a personal relationship with me and invested their time and energy in developing me into the person and dancer that I am. Shenandoah is expensive; however, with Financial Aid and a generous Scholarhsip (that increased while I was there) I was able to afford an education that I am proud of. Shenandoah is small, but it allowed me to see the world through the Global Citizenship Project. Shenandoah is a wonderful place to be.

I am a dance major at Shenandoah. The school has provided me with so many opportunities the past two years I have attended. The school offers things you won't be able to get anywhere else. For example, Pilates Mat Certification, Global Citizenship Project-the chance to go on a trip out of the country over spring break that is fully funded by the university. The school cares about their students and helping their students suceed in today's world. I would recommend the school to anyone without reservations!
