Reply #118: my (almost*) MA in Music was not [View All]

My step-father paid for it, and I studied at a "cheap" school, SF State. Most people in the department were there on their own nickel or on loans. There were a few scholarship students, but they had to do work-study in exchange. There were a few foreign students, but most were Bay Area residents who commuted in for classes. Other departments had more foreign students, but the Performing Arts and Fine Arts Departments were mostly just locals.

The arts are very poorly supported.

*I completed all the classes. but never did write my thesis. Hubby's job loss (WorldCom), two moves, and then his illnesses rather got in the way. Then I just became too depressed to even think about it.
