[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am an Asian Indian and my entire schooling system was mostly academics - fine arts and sports were a joke. Now most of my friends are in late 40's and it is hard to figure out a hobby. I have insisted my kids to play a musical instrument plus a sport, not for college admission but so that they have a hobby/active life style for life. They are pretty average but helps give them an outlet outside of stressful HS. My older one also takes Theater as an elective. I find numerous benefits of theater, more confident and interesting teenagers. I would absolutely encourage them to take a few classes in fine arts in college. But I agree, the other variables in college including costs, proximity to home, strength of engineering program will matter MUCH more than the strength of fine arts program. If my kids participated at a much higher level in fine arts and sports, the conversation would be different [/quote]
