I went to Northwestern for my MM, you can email me for specifics, but I had a great experience, overall. Mine was a bit different because I studied with Russell Dagon one year and Steve Cohen the next. I felt I grew musically a great deal. I personally really liked being in the clarinet studio at NU, and some of my best friendships were formed there.

Can't imagine any negatives other than the weather.

I have a former student who just finished her freshmen year as a clarinet performance major, and she LOVES it there. The students, studio, faculty, campus - everything.

"Knowing the often cut throat world of music performance, I feel an academic background is important, though, regardless of the competiton in music, I feel a broad liberal arts education is essential."
And why do you feel that way? When you're out there auditioning for jobs, how is a "broad liberal arts education" going to help you? After spending hundreds of hours writing papers instead of practicing, what extra skills will you have gained that will help you find a performing job?
Okay, so even if you decide to give up music and find a "real" job, how will a liberal arts curriculum give you more credibility? You do know that people who graduate from degrees offering "broad liberal arts educations" have by far the lowest starting income out of any mainstream major?
Studying music and making money do not go hand in hand. You pick one over the other. The sooner you come to terms with this fact, the better off you'll be in your college search.
