What school did you go to? Any advice for how to choose a music school? I'm getting my grad degree at the University of Maryland and it was SO hard to figure out where to apply/how to find a school. I'm lucky I landed in the right place.

I have a great friend at the San Fransisco Conservatory and another friend who dropped out of it (still a fantastic oboe player).
Have you found the things you learned at your schools to be valuable? What are your thoughts on theory and aural skills (I'm getting my phd in theory so I'm extra curious about it).
