What's the most frustrating thing about Berklee College of Music?

Alyssa

The only thing that I have found frustrating about my school, is that everything is still in testing mode with my major. I am a part of the online program and it is very new.

I will attend the school for the first time in the Fall of 2012 so i cannot aswer this.

Attending Berklee College of Music can be very frustrating. Actually I believe being at any college that is based on arts can be frustrating. There is a great amount of talent all around the campus, but with talent comes competition , jealousy, and drama. When you add all of those components, the sum equals confusion and frustration.

First of all, there is not enough room in the housing department to accommodate even half of the students that attend my school. Secondly, even though it is a private school, the tuition is really high for a music school, plus there are other superfluous fees required each semester. And last, the most frustrating thing to me about this school is there is not a promise of a job or even a set career after a student has graduated.

Alex

Ihave to work a lot to support myself, so having enough time is the most frustrating thing.

Rebecca

Though the school provides mostly everything you need, they won't advertise it. If you want to get something done you have to go look for it, or learn it on your own. Though there are several offices to help you with the process. If you can find them.

Cecily

The most frustrating thing about Berklee College of Music is that we don't have an official gym space for students to exercise.

Joseph

A lot of the teachers at Berklee tend to close the scope of their teachings to those who intent to perform. Also, although I have no basis to say this, it seems that if you do not show potential for being famous or wealthy with your music skills, the Berklee administration is oblivious to you.

Casey

There is almost too much focus on diveristy at the school and it sometimes hinders the chances of those deserving of certain awards to recieve them. Often that leads to not getting in, or not being able to fund your education.

Luke

At the Berklee College of Music, the focus is primarily on Jazz and traditional studies rather than contemporary. Most students believed that would they would be learning about how to succeed in the music industry today, but they are actually recieving an education about to succeed in the music industry of the 1970's and 1980's.
