I'm an inspiring actor and I will be attending college in a few years so I was just wondering if anyone knew good acting colleges. I want to make it to broadway at some point in my career; it's been a dream of mine.
Any ideas?

When it comes time for you to choose a school, you need to "make the rounds," and visit as many as you can in person. You should visit theatre departments at several colleges. Sit in on classes; they'll certainly let you. Talk to the professors you'd be working with. See if you "click" with them. By all means, attend performances of shows that the theatre department has produced; see what impresses you.
There's no such thing as a school that can provide a direct conduit to Broadway. That'll be up to YOU. However, the first (and most important) step is to get the very best training you can get...and you'll get that the school that fits YOU best, and not necessarily at the school with the loftiest reputation. Schools like NYU and Julliard enjoy wonderful reputations -- and deservedly so -- but a school is only as good as the people who are teaching there TODAY. You need to go see for yourself.

I would definitely research schools in NYC. That will allow you to get established in the city, and meet people already in the business. You can also usher for Broadway shows.
AADA and AMDA are two-year acting programs. Have you looked into The New School?

I think you mean "aspiring" and frankly, you should NOT worry about college which is obviously a few years away as you stated. Start out in high school plays and community theater. Then, when you are a junior or senior, (and have a lot of experience under your belt), worry about a performing arts college.

properly stick which incorporate your practise as which would be your fall lower back and after practise hours or loose time connect a drama workshop and audition for close by issues. this would assist you and supply you a concept while you're forged in a position or would have interest. as quickly as you have equipped up a resume flow to brokers. performing college are large yet each and every so often you may desire to discover the terrific direction for you. what's going to make one dream a certainty would desire to no longer artwork for you. good success

Emerson in Boston If you Don't go Julliard go there,Great programs, great for "networking". My son went. They have 2 or three campuses in Europe, one Atlanta, 2 in L.A. that you can inturn at some of the major players in the business.They own 2 theaters in Boston, these people have money!

As someone else said, try for Julliard. But don't expect to get in. They recieve a lot of applications per year and only a few are actually selected.

Juilliard in NY seems to be the best choice.
