We all know about NYU, Carnegie-Mellon, North Carolina School for the Arts, etc. as good acting colleges. But does anyone know of any "less well known" colleges with superior acting programs?
Thx!
Love,
Miss Britt

I go to Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana.
I LOVE my program.
It's a liberal arts school with a B.A. general major.
We have a very supportive environment, and you can really tailor the major to fit your needs.
I get a great deal of individual attention, and I take independent study classes practically every semester.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

nope it's voted "Best College Theater" by princeton review students. I think that's a very different thing.
haha sorry I know no one asked me, but here's my shpiel about wagner:
when i auditioned at Wagner (although this was a few years ago so it may be different now) I was very disappointed by the way the audition was set up. you go around and do your audition with this big group and for monologues they just go down the line. You dance with 30 other kids and singing is once again, down the line. I really didn't get to talk to anyone personally at all. Anyway, three kids in my audition group ended up being with me at NYU and it turns out we had all been given outrageous scholarships to attend Wagner, a huge plus. Yet the way the audition had been set up turned me so off from the school, I didn't even want to consider it as an option. It was like a cattle call. I'll have enough of those in the real world, thank you.
to keep it positive, here's some other lesser-known schools to look at: Emerson, University of the Arts, SUNY Purchase, Marymount Manhattan College
