Neal and I have been doing some more research on sound schools lately. Why? Because as AWESOME as going to Manchester would have been, we both feel its probably a bit unreasonable. We would have to prove that we had the funds to pay for not only school, but our all of our living expenses for the 18 months we would be over there before we could even get a student visa. Add in figuring out how I was going to get over there and stay (legally), we just don't know if its going to happen.
I started poking around some more, and found two other schools that had programs similar to the one in Manchester. The first was in Minnesota, and similar to the school in Manchester, when Neal graduated he would get a diploma, not an actual degree. Then I found a forum where a kid had been talking about "Columbia" in Chicago. After doing some searching, I found the College of Columbia in Chicago. This is a private arts school that not only offers a sound program, but a BA in Audio Acoustics. How awesome is that? We would be able to use financial aid (unlike England), and would be a whole heck of a lot closer to home!
We're still praying about it and discussing it, but both of us feel a bit better about Chicago than Manchester. We're currently waiting on information from both schools so that we can more effectively make our decisions :)
