Pros and Cons of these Colleges: Boston University, Emerson College, NYU, and Fordham.?
I’m a high school student with a GPA of 3.5-3.8 and an interest in majoring in Acting, Theatre Arts, or Theatre Education. These are my top four schools that I think I have somewhat of a chance of getting into. I know I want to attend college in New York or Boston because I absolutely love both of the cities. I would prefer a smaller school, but NYU is a dream, and BU looks really promising. I am in a vocal ensemble at my school and in the school musical and soon I am going to volunteer as an usher regularly at the biggest theatre in my city. What else can I do to prepare for college before senior year?
So what can you tell me about these four schools. Pros? Cons? Comments? Concerns? The inside scoop? I would like to know more about the theatre programs, if possible. Money is a little bit of an issue, so how much financial aid do these schools give? Are they worth the price?
Also, I’ve been receiving a lot of negativity for wanting to major in theatre-related fields. I know the life of an actor or other theatre related jobs is not an easy or successful one. Tips?
Thanks!
NYU
Pros: In New York–and in a really fun part of Manhattan. If you want to be in theatre, NYC is *the* place to be. Great restaurants, clubs, museums. Walking distance to everything. Very eclectic student body.
Cons: Some people can feel a bit alienated, since there’s no real campus and dorms are often quite spread out (but same goes for every other college you’ve mentioned.) Expensive. No emphasis on sports (this could be bad or good–it would be a pro for me, but a con for many others.)
I don’t know anyone who didn’t love NYU, frankly.
I don’t know that much about Emerson. I have a couple of friends who went there. It was EXTREMELY artsy–even more so than NYU. If you’re into that, then fine, but my friends were kind of…weirded out (?) by it.
Fordham is a good school, but it won’t have the same caliber students as the other schools will. It’s also not really in Manhattan, which is kind of annoying.
BU is a fun school. Pretty big focus on sports; parties are great. No real campus but Boston is smaller than NY so it can feel a little more insular.
They’re all relatively similar. If you want to be in theatre, I would recommend NYU first and Emerson second. Regarding your intended course of study–sure, being an actor is hard. But you can also involve yourself in other parts of theatre, like being the Managing Director of a theatre company, to make money.
To improve your chances…keep your GPA up; volunteer as much as you can in theatre (an usher is great, but see if you can help out more.) You will need very strong essays and recommendations for these schools (except for BU, which will focus on you more as a number and less as a person because it’s a bigger school.)
Good luck!

I am a senior. Applied to Fordham first choice this year and just got deferred. hopefully going to get in and go. Starting with that, its a great school! i visited last spring and loved it. the atmosphere is great and they have a ton of resources to offer, especially being in New York City! I am also a musician, so I am looking to major or minor in music industry. The arts are going to be pretty big at any of these schools. BU and Emerson i dont really know much about. my buddy is applying to the film program at Emerson. I think its a pretty good theatre and film school, with a good reputation. NYU is probably the best theatre school in the country. probably the most competative. When i looked at it, i hated it. the kids there are VERY artsy, who knows, you might like that. I feel like the people there are kinda snobby as well ("My arts better than yours, blah blah blah") stuff like that. But overall its a great school and I am sure youd get A LOT out of any program you are in there. I am no theatre person, but NYU and Fordham are or were top of my list so i thought id give you a reply. GOOD LUCK!

Fordham
Pros: It’s in New York City, Jesuit Education, nice campus, good overall reputation.
Cons: It’s in the Bronx.
NYU
Pros: It’s REALLY in the City, it also has a good reputation, their arts programs are probably the best after Juilliard.
Cons: Snobby kids and uncaring professors. Campus isn’t really a campus.
BU:
Pros: It’s right in the middle of Boston.
Cons: I’ve heard grade inflation horror stories about BU. Again, campus isn’t really a campus.
I don’t know much about Emerson.
Good Luck!

I know that most of the time when men say, "Good girl" to their girlfriend/wife it's a term of endearment, but?
But would men see it as a term of endearment if their girlfriend/wife tells them, "Good boy"?
Life is too short to nit pick at things like this. To each their own. Depends on the individual and the tone its said in and the circumstances involved.

End of Train device question?
heres part of a rule concerning markers at the rear of the train:
A marker must be displayed on the trailing end of the rear car to indicate the rear of the train. display a highly visible marker at the rear of every train, from 1 hour before sunset to 1 hour after sunrise. Display a reflector, red flag, or EOT device at the rear of the train as the marker when: a highly visible marker is not required, a defective car must be placed at the rear for movement to a repair point…
does this mean that a "highly visible marker" must be a lighted marker, usually the blinking red light…, from sunset to sunrise?…
otherwise it can be a flag, reflector, eot?…
Im just getting confused on this rule and the wording.
You are correct, highly visible marker must be blinking red light and somewhere in the definition it has to be a specified brightness.
they tried just a traffic type marker with a red lens and it wasnt good enough.
Red flag is ok in the daytime, I have seen them used in work trains and locals here and the FRA approves it.
Rango | Feb 06, 2010
UK rules: every train must carry a red light at the rear, day and night. Formerly these were oil lamps but nowadays, electric lamps are used.
squeaky guinea pig | Feb 06, 2010
Rango and Squeaky will agree with me, there’s nothing like a real caboose with twin red lights to tell an oncoming train it’s the end of another. FRED’s are an acronym for, F***ing, Rear End Dummy!

Relationship issues bah?
My girlfriend and I have been together a little over a year. I’m her first boyfriend and also the only person she’s ever slept with, as I’m a couple years older than her. She is very much in love with me as i’m her first love.
We met at college last year, she was in my polsci class. Halfway through the year a new guy enrolled in the class and from day one he developed a bit of an obsession with her… every single day he would oggle her the entire class and smile at her etc.
At the end of the semester, they started speaking and she got kind of nervous talking to him and he was noticeably excited, and also nervous. They became friends on myspace, which initially bothered me because of his feelings for her, but after we spoke about it and I explained how I felt, I left it alone.
Anyway I recently found out they have been in very regular contact, speak on the phone often and have arranged a number of events to go to together. When I asked her about it she said that she thought she had asked me to go with them, when in fact there was never an offer. Two weeks ago we were supposed to go out together, but had a bit of a fight and decided not to. After we made up I asked if she still wanted to go out and she said she had plans with the gals… turns out she and Mike (the guy) had a chance encounter that evening on the train home.
I’m not usually a jealous guy, but for some reason I feel really betrayed by this all. I know she would never do anything to intentionally hurt me, but I just can’t sit here and pretend it’s all innocent, when I know absolutely that it isn’t, at least on his behalf. I’d never tell her who to be friends with, but since I experienced two exactly similar situations in my last relationship (with both times ended up my girlfriend confessing she did have a crush on them), I just can’t ignore it.
I told her I wanted some space…
Am I overreacting?

When the Quran and the Prophets of Islam came, what was their mission, to be worshipped?
40/114 Al Quran Translation English
54. A guide and a reminder for men of understanding.
55. So be patient (O Muhammad SAW). Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault[], and glorify the praises of your Lord in the Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkar (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon) [it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) or the 'Asr and Fajr prayers].
56. Verily, those who dispute about the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, without any authority having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except pride [to accept you (Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger of Allah and to obey you][]. They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allah has bestowed upon you). So seek refuge in Allah (O Muhammad SAW from the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
57. The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind know not.
58. And not equal are the blind and those who see, nor are (equal) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous good deeds, and those who do evil. Little do you remember!
59. Verily, the Hour (Day of Judgement) is surely coming, therein is no doubt, yet most men believe not.
60. And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"
Did Jesus ask to be worshipped? Did any prophet in the entire history of any religious book ever asked those around him to worship him?
sura 5:101-102 ”o” ye who believe! ask not questions about things which made plain to you, may cause you trouble… some people did ask such? on that account lost their faith [in islam].

What's the best fight scene from a movie you have seen?
Here are a few of my favorites: Chuck Norris vs. David Carradine from " Lone Wolf McQuade ", Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris from " Return of the Dragon ", Patrick Swayze vs. George Teague ( Wesley’s nephew ) from " Road House ", and Chuck Norris vs. the motorcycle gang in " Silent Rage ". That’s just a few of my favorites, what are some of yours?

I remember the end one from Enter the Dragon I think with Bruce Lee, and the guy with the claw. That was a good one.
Another one I also like is from "Kung Fu Hustle", the first one with the Axe Gang vs. the 3 kung fu masters.
I almost forgot, the fight scene for LOTR: Return of the King, on the fields of Pelennor outside Minas Tirith, I thought PJ did a great job of transferring that from the book to the movie. Well, ok, maybe he overdid it a little bit on the cursed warriors that Aragorn summons, but still, very good.

No one’s mentioned "John Carpenter’s ‘They Live’", which had an unbelievably long and brutal fight scene between pro wrestler/actor Rowdy Roddy Piper and character actor Keith David. (Perfectly aped in a South Park episode fight between Timmy and Jimmy.)
On the total flip side, my other favorite, the sword fight between Wesley (Cary Elwes) and Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) in "The Princess Bride".
