WHAT I LIKED

UArts gives many opportunities for performers to really build a repertoire and participate in school productions in a way almost no other BFA in theatre offers.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

The dining halls are a little hard to overcome if you are a residential student. As well, there are issues of representation and tokenization amongst the student body, especially in regards to casting, that are currently being worked through but have a ways to go.
