Acting Colleges with no musical theatre

[June2]

I am a junior and I need to start looking for colleges. I want to go for a BFA in Acting at a good school that does NOT have a musical theatre major. So far I am pretty sure I like Rutgers, SUNY Purchase, Cal Arts, U Minnesota and SMU and I would like to know more about Cornish and Northern Illinois. Schools I already looked at and wrote off for different reasons are Juilliard, UNC Arts, NYU, Boston U, DePaul, U Evansville and USC. Can anyone point me in the direction of some others I might like? I am open to schools that don't audition for the BFA until second year if anybody knows about those.

Also, does anyone know of any discussion groups besides here where STUDENTS can talk about colleges without having a bunch of stage moms butt in? I read some stuff on College Confidential and I don't even want to bother with asking anything there because they have totally taken over. Are there any such groups on Facebook that I haven't been able to find?
