Berklee College of Music Top Questions

People who are driven and open to anything

My classmates are very determined and ambitious. The general attitide around campus is a very serious one. Berklee is a very special place because it is one of the only music schools in the world that offers a practical musical education--majors in songwriting, film scoring, contemporary writing and production, etc. The students here are some of the most interesting, self-motivated people I have ever met. They are from every country and every walk of life but come together in the common interest of music. It's incredible.

My classmates are musicians and creative.

Students at my school, on the whole, are some of the least genuine people on the planet, thinking only how they can present themselves in a way that makes them look the best in respective situations, however much they have to bullshit, lie, and distort their actual personality; if you talked to ten students, you could consider yourself lucky if even one of them was their real self with you.

Classmates are friendly and usually help each other out.

Berklee kids tend to be very creative and driven.

Everyone of them is unique, and has their own purpose and brings something different to every class.
