College Visit

Oh my goodness, I'm in love.

This past Saturday, the 7th of November, I attended the Columbia College Chicago Open House. It was SPECTACULAR!

First was the welcome session, which was in this theatre owned by Roosevelt University, but it was so pretty. The performance was very happy-making ;) and I got some recordings on my iPod. There was a jazz band, a choir, some soloists, a rapper, some dancers and videos. There were two speakers, and though I knew most of what they told me, it still made me love Columbia that much more.

Then mom and I went to the photography visit, and I peeked in the darkrooms and looked at students' work and it was beautiful.

The theatre presentation was awesome, and though I couldn't take the tour I looked in at some theatres in the building, the big one and the black box one. They were tight! Basically theatre there, they said they do on average 40 productions a school year, freshman are ENCOURAGED to audition, there is even a freshman-only production, and you are allowed to audition for companies within the city. Ugh, it's just so perfect.

It's pretty expenisve, especially if you live in the dorms, which are NICE! But I've been doing some scholarship research and have 45 potential ones in a binder at the moment, that are organized by due date and then by requirements.

I'M SO EXCITED! LOVE. <3
