Sound thinking CMS....
Oh and the other comments remind me:
An engineering student asks "How does it work?"
a philosophy major asks "Why does it work?"
A liberal arts major asks "Do you want fries with that?"
I'm actually curious now, what did all of you guys major in?
Originally posted by NordlysI'm guessing the theory is that if you live in the state, your family has been paying the taxes that support that university and you reap the benefit of that support by paying less tuition than out of state students. It is like that at all US colleges and universities, as far as I know. The tuition itself is expensive, and added to that are books, supplies, housing (often a dorm, so add meals to that as well), parking fees, fee for ID, lab fees for certain classes, and a list of other fees you pay just for showing up.
What taxes do you pay while you are a student?
Edit: And anyway, if you are studying somewhere, you are usually living there as well, aren't you? So wouldn't you have to pay tax there, too?

don't let these guys put you off cms, especially if you are doing it for the love of knowledge rather than just thinking of a career. i've got a scholarship to do a PhD at a good uni, and it really is a great experience. education is NOT over-rated - get as much of it as you can handle, and don't let those who can't be bothered talk you out of it.

Music therapy (postgraduate)
I was always aware that I was quite likely to earn less as a music therapist than as a musician, despite two additional years of education, but I thought it would be worth it. I still think so after working as a music therapist for eight years.

I've been accepted at OSU, Loyola (Chi), and Tulane now. I didn't get a scholarship at loyola, so I'll probably go to OSU just because of the insane cost difference (27,000+/yr. vs. 8,600/yr. for tuition only).
I resigned from that, must find cheaper option, like Helsinki or so, because it is goverment payed, so if you are accepted, you don't need the scholarship, even if you are foreigner
As for you, congratulations, I wish you good luck 🙂 There are several ways to get the scholarship or try to find some private company (It really depends of type of university).
At least in Europe is like that...

I like cello very much.🙂 I have a friend which worked with Rostropovich on masterclasses, just last year, before he passed away...

In my current job, I work with kindergarten children with special needs. I graduated in cello at Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt a.M. (although I started studying at Hochschule der Künste Berlin), and in music therapy at Universität Witten/Herdecke (http://www.uni-wh.de/indexen.html).

Originally posted by NordlysI checked your link, it is very interesting I heard about it before. Unfortunately, sometimes if you are concertist, performer, work with your instrument 10 hours daily for concert or demanding competition, you need therapy FROM music. 😛 Altough I couldn't live without it.

Originally posted by ivan2908Have you heard of the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford? Far cheaper tuition/living expenses than the one in London, and very well respected.
