Hello all,

I am writing on behalf of one of my best students who was my Stage Manager this year and is graduating to go off to study Stage Management and the like this September. 

She has currently been accepted to Ithaca College's Theatre Studies major and Syracuse University's Stage Management major program, and cannot pick which one to attend. 

She thought that she had her heart set on Ithaca since it's a smaller environment and lots of personalized attention, but she also liked what Syracuse had to say about their program. Ithaca gave her a significantly more scholarship money than Syracuse, but she doesn't want that to necessarily be a deciding factor. 

She is also questioning what would potentially happen if she decided and didn't want to stage mange once she has professional experiences. She's wondering what program would help her the most in the future.

Any advice?

THANKS ALL!
