[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are missing that some kids really thrive when participating in these programs, so they care that they will be in a place that supports it. Every kid has something they want that will make the college experience a happier, better four years for them. For some it is a football tradition, for others it is Greek life, for some it is easy access to hiking and climbing or surfing, for some it is weather, and for some it is a vibrant fine arts program.[/quote]

I doubt my kid will be a star of stage and screen, but i hope he has access to performing in theater at his college, even though he'll probably major in molecular biology. For him in high school, theater is fun and uses a different part of his brain than science. In college, extracurriculars are great places to form friendships, more so than classes.

Of course if he ends up at a school with a strong theater program and many kids serious about majoring in it, he likely won't end up in the elaborate productions for theater majors only  – but hopefully there will be smaller spinoff student groups and comedy troupes and such. It's good to have a variety of interests and friends, in college and life beyond.
