As a Conservatory the focus is on performing arts. While I have to take a science class, that class studies the throat and how it relates to my vocals. I am striving to gain a Bachelor of Music, a very specific goal. My days are filled with voice lessons, choral rehearsals, ear training, etc. We don's have a sports team! On the weedends I may attend up to four performances of my own and other classmates of professors. At a traditional university life is much more geared toward a group experienc...mine focuses on our individual talents.

The Boston Conservatory is a very small, close-knit community. Other performing art schools I looked at gave off a vibe which was less welcoming than the Boston Conservatory. One often finds an extreme focus on competition in performing art schools which creates an uncomfortable and sometimes daunting learning environment. With that focus, there is a constant feeling of being judged by everyone, including your peers. At the Boston Conservatory, I do not feel like I am in constant competition with my classmates but that we are learning from each other and helping each other grow as individuals.
