I know you don't wanna hear this but Berklee is a huge scam. I graduated from there in 2012 with a degree in performance. I was always a good student and worked my ass off as much as I could. I wasn't talented enough to get a Berklee scholarship so I took out mega loans and now the loan consumes me. every penny I get I have to spend paying the god damn thing off. I cant even afford a car that runs or my own apartment. But at least I have this great Berklee degreee. Its basically a $200,000 receipt for me to wipe my ass with. Unless you are one of the 5 kids a year to get a presidential scholarship to Berklee, then dont go. They will take all of your money and leave you with nothing. They act like they are going to help you get your career started in music as long as you are a good student but the reality is they take all your money. The faculty are a bunch of jerks. The faculty only wants to play with the best of the best and teach the best of the best and they dont have patience for an average student who isnt talented but is a hard worker. I wish I would have believed all of these negative comments on here before I went off and wasted 4 years of my life plus $200,000. not to mention all the time i spent away from friends and family because I was away at music school in Boston. I hate Berklee so much and I wish I could get back every penny from them. Please dont go there. IF you MUST major in music look at serious programs like NEC. I hope this helps a broke musician kid like me with dreams in their eyes about to take out loans to go to this magical place called Berklee. Wake up people… its all bullshit.
