What's unique about your campus?

Krystina

My school is a welcoming environment that encourages growth of ones self. At all of our home towns we may be considered incredibly talented, but here we all get to learn so much more from each other than we ever imagined. My fellow classmates are some of the most talented people I know, and the best thing is that I get to learn alongside them.

The best thing that i consider about berklee is,Its very diverse with many many cultures,as far as the students and the teachers. The other best thing is the school it self,it goes down in history and some of the best musicians come out of that school.Berklee is an amazing resource if you live and breathe music and are determined and self-disciplined enough to keep up with your studies.

Damon

The best thing about my school is the opportunity that is presented (on a silver platter, might I add). Great names in music come to visit our campus and share knowledge quite often. Also, depending on what major you declare, you gain access to Berklee's high class music studio. The average studio cost per hour in Boston is about a hundred dollars. The average cost per hour at Berklee is zero dollars, and this is a great opportunity.

Sylvester

There are so many different kinds of people at Berklee. You get to learn new ways of life from just about everyone. The diversity is amazing, it allows you to be yourself while picking up whatever catches your eye. You become worldly.

Eleni

The best thing about Berklee is that you do not have to be a genius on your musical instrument in order to be accepted . There is something for every musician and the environment really allows you to find your own voice and develop it to its full potential. There is opportunity to grow every day.

The diverisity of culture among the Berklee student body is really remarkable. It helps broaden your views and ideas of music being surrounded by students from all across the world. Also, this is key in the music industry because all the people you are meeting will be your business contacts for the rest of your life.

Berklee is a microcosm of the music industry. Your classmates may very well be the next recording artists, producers, and music business professionals. And your teachers have been. You get educated by practicing professionals and have access to the newest technologies out there. Berklee is truly a place to learn the ins and outs of contemporary music.

Rebecca

The connections you make. The music industry is all about who you know and all the professors are professionals in the industry. Not to mention all the students who plan on making in big in all aspects of the music industry. You can find a producer, a songwriter, an agent, and an entire band all in the same hallway.

Opprotunities in music

Kelley

The best thing about Berklee is that everyone there shares the same passion-- music. In every form, in every way that you can express it, music is revered with the utmost respect and it is the reason why we are who we are and where we are. No one ever loses sight of that.

Enoghene

The best thing about my school is it's effect on new musicians. Many who start attending this school, begin with blinding stars in their eyes. The majority leave early, or simply just leave because of Berklee's quickness on showing students the harsh-ness of reality.

Dominic

I t is what you make it. Here you can choose to do anything remotely relatd to music. You decide how far you want to go in the industry.

Teachers are likely to become your friends and take you under their wing if you persue them. A lot of networking opportunities, and well organized clubs are the things that have impressed me the most and made my time at the college most enjoyable.

Erich

It's world renowned, the teachers are experienced, it's inspiring and welcoming, and has all the facilities to prepare students for real world situations. While it can be difficult at times, if you put in the work you do become a better musician.

Jazz

There are a lot of resources there and if you want to succeed, all you have to do is ask and they'll help you.

Ginel

It's a great size truly. It's not too small but it's not too big. Each classroom has about 15-20 students, although liberal arts classes can have up to 40, it's still a great environment. Everybody gets to know each other pretty well. Such an artistic environment enables you to express yourself all the time and also enjoy from other people's artistic abilities.

Jaimie

I LOVE the experimental nature of my school. It's not a new school by any means, but the college is always evolving and changing with the times. Berklee really encourages students to experiment with their instruments and with their talents and find who they are. My teachers have helped me develop who I am today.
