you have read recently about this school and Music School
is 100% true! I came into CUA extremely open minded
and optimistic, unfortunately i soon realized that i wasn't getting
everything i was told that i would receive if i
went to CUA's program. The School of Music is near
broke money wise with facilities falling apart and being outdated.
Its ridiculous to think this school cost nearly what an
Ivy would cost ($50,000) yet you look around and see
your classrooms and facilities majorly outdated! It may not seem
like such a big deal to some to have the
best facilities but at the end of the day it
can really take a toll on your quality of education
and learning experience. The performance spaces the school frequently used
are falling apart and the departments are so underfunded that
they frequently couldn't even afford microphones for the actors and
performers! Majority of the faculty i found were terrible. Some
of the new faculty members running the program are extremely
close minded and don't seem to care for all their
students and their development. Instead they usually stick with their
favorite students while coldly ignoring the rest of the student
body. The school in general seems to pride itself on
past students success that happened years ago when different professors
were teaching. The connections i felt were also lacking for
a program that has been around for a long time.
We rarely had masterclasses with professionals in the field which
i feel are essential to you'r learning and career development
in a Music Program. The school itself i found was
not very diverse nor open to different theological and political
beliefs. Im sure this was one of the reasons why
majority of the students i knew, music and non music
students transferred after freshman year. On a positive note i
will say DC is an amazing college town and city
offering a lot of diverse things to do. Other than
that though i don't think i could've gotten through a
year at this school without having DC as an outlet.
At the end of the day this is just my
experience and opinions. I am happy to say i am
transferring to another University where i feel like my opportunities
and training will be much better. CUA may be perfect
for you, but for me it was not what i
had hoped.
