Pros

Fantastic school, incredible team, germane programs.

Cons

Old-guard "good old boys" masculine culture, especially around jazz. This "cultural" norm is used as an excuse for sexism, racism, and discrimination. Networks with top musicians often depend on students not reacting to offensive comments and actions.

Pros

Berklee has really been a terrific place to be a faculty member. The strong union here has made amazing strides for us over the years. Everyone I work with is really on their game, and the administration is very attentive to the difficult issues facing colleges these days. And a lot of the students are amazingly talented.

Cons

The school can be very expensive for students, which I find concerning.
