Hi there, Does anyone go to Julliard or know someone who does?? im thinking about where to study for postgraduate, even though I'm a few years away yet but I'd love to know what its like to study there, I know i should probably order a prospectus but a genuine students view is usually far more helpful. thanks.

Ordinarily spelling doesn't count, but if you're applying, you should spell the school name right: Juilliard.
The competition is ferocious, and it takes tunnel vision to succeed. You can't do or think of anything else.
If you're absolutely single-minded, and this is absolutely what you want, and you have the sort of top-end talent it takes to succeed as a player (which means you're already getting lots of work, and the world is starting to know about you), Juilliard can be great. Anyone else should think twice.

I know a Trombonist who got his Master's there....actually in Bass Trombone. He loved it because his studio was taught only in studio class format. No individual lessons. For him that was a good change from the last probably 10 years of his musical life. I'm not sure if every prof. at Juilliard teaches that way, but you may find it appealing.
Second the idea of having a laser focus. This guy now has Major symphony job.....he got it at 28 and, as we all know, there's only one Bass Trombone per orchestra.

I was there once for a tour. It looked like a really cool place and the facilities were amazing, especially compared with anything we have here....
There is one girl (cellist) who was in my class in highschool who is studying is Juilliard right now, and I think two clarinet players from here (from a different city) are studying there now also. I don't really have any way to contact them but if I happen to see someone who knows them I can ask.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for, as Ken Shaw says.
If you're looking to study with a good teacher, then many teachers don't just teach at one institution. For example (and anyone correct me if I'm wrong), since I am a clarinet player, Ricardo Morales teaches at both Juilliard and Temple. Alan Kay teaches at Juilliard, Manhattan, and Hartt. And so on...
But if you're especially wondering about the type of atmosphere it is, then I can't help you. :D

I have a friend who went to Juilliard and studied with Ricardo and LOOOVED him. And all her clarinet friends who studied w/ him loved him as well.
